Little is recorded about this particular picture beyond its title and its origin as a U.S. Department of Agriculture photograph, so it reads best as a record of the fruit itself. The USDA produced and gathered large numbers of images across the twentieth century to document crops, orchards and farm practices, and pictures like this one served agricultural reporting, extension work and public information. Apples have long been among the most widely grown tree fruits in the United States, and government photographs of them often emphasize shape, color and handling, showing how the crop was judged and presented.
