- Wood Engraving, "October," 1854 - Apple cider has long been synonymous with autumn. This 1854 print shows a bountiful apple harvest and cider making. In the background, the horse-powered crusher grinds apples into a pomace. In the foreground, men press the cider from the pomace. While we are more familiar with sweet cider, most cider at that time was hard cider-- fermented to prevent spoilage.

- Wood Engraving, "July," 1854 - Farming is a year round occupation and work is usually defined by season. This 1854 engraving depicts the harvesting of ripened summer grains. Workers used grain cradles to cut the plant, while others followed and bundled them and stacked them into shocks to dry. Later, farmers transported the bundled crop to barns where they separate the valuable grain from the chaff -- the straw and other inedible material.
