Titled *Evening on the farm* and dated around December 14, 1891, this print was deposited with the U.S. Copyright Office, which is how it came to the Library of Congress. The date and the name linked to it on an old shelflist card are unverified, so the maker remains uncertain. Quiet end-of-day scenes like this were a common subject in late nineteenth-century American prints, when farm life still occupied much of the population and rural images circulated widely. It offers a view of how the close of a working day was pictured at the time.
