The title names a particular farmer, "The Chappaqua farmer / Kuriger," and places the scene at Chappaqua, a hamlet in Westchester County, New York. The lithograph was printed by D. Chalmers of Springfield, Massachusetts, around 1872, from a painting by Chapman, and the record notes that Samuel J. Chapman entered the work for copyright on July 23. Inexpensive lithographs like this one let rural households and town offices hang images of farm life on their walls, which shows how agricultural subjects were marketed to a broad audience in the years after the Civil War.
