Sweet Cider, Cary, 1890

An ox cart brings the apples home.

What

A print, Sweet Cider, 1890, whose Library of Congress shelflist card names the illustrator W. M. Cary; Library of Congress, LCCN 2003670624.

Why

The title names the drink, and the picture shows the country it came from.

Notice

Two oxen pull the cart down a rutted country road, past an orchard and a farmhouse.

“The country drink, before the argument about it.”
