A chipmunk perched on a weathered wooden fence, gnawing into an apple, is the particular moment this picture freezes. Animal studies like this one were a popular subject in American photography and illustration around the turn of the twentieth century, when rural life and nature observation drew wide interest. Chipmunks are striped ground squirrels that store food in their cheeks, so the pairing with fruit fits their habit of foraging along orchard edges and fencelines. Apples, a staple of American farms and home gardens, make a natural counterpart in a board devoted to the fruit.
