Cider making is the subject here, and the lithograph shows the work as it was done in the countryside around Boston in the early 1800s, when apple orchards were a common part of farm life across New England. Cider was an everyday drink then, often safer to drink than well water, and autumn was the season for pressing the harvest into barrels that would last through winter. Prints like this one were popular among city readers who liked to see rural labor and seasonal rhythms pictured, so the scene doubles as a view of how the region fed and supplied itself before industrial food production took hold.
