Workers in Mr. Longworth's wine cellars near Cincinnati are shown corking bottles, the final step that sealed in the wine before it went to market. Nicholas Longworth was among the city's best-known wine growers, and his Catawba grapes, grown on the hillsides above the Ohio River, made Cincinnati a center of American viticulture in the 1850s. This wood engraving appeared in Harper's Weekly in July 1858, offering readers a look at an industry that had become one of the city's notable enterprises.
