A gift of autumn" frames the harvest season as something bestowed, a bounty received rather than just a change in the weather. Published in New York by Currier & Ives around 1875, the print belongs to the firm's long run of inexpensive lithographs, which were sold widely to households across the country and often showed rural abundance, holidays and home life. Images like this helped shape how Americans in the decades after the Civil War pictured the farm and the harvest table, which explains its place among the Thanksgiving and harvest material on this board. The firm's catalog of its work lists it among the many seasonal sheets it produced in the 1870s.
