The title reads like a line of dialogue, a buyer insisting on the biggest fruit, and that is the detail that sets this picture apart from others on the board. It treats the apple as something chosen by size, color and blemish, judged by eye at a stall or farm table. Apples were a staple of American farms and town markets through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when fruit was often sold loose and weighed by hand. Images like this one capture that everyday bargaining, when a good apple was a matter of pride for the grower and a point of judgment for the shopper.
