Snow lies deep around a timber farmstead, with a wooden sled leaning against the wall as if it had just been put away after a run down the slope. Winter in alpine farming country meant long months of isolation, when families relied on sleds to haul firewood, hay and supplies between barns and houses scattered across steep ground. Picturesque winter scenes like this one were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when artists and photographers helped turn rural mountain life into a symbol of the quiet, self-sufficient season.
