Trapping in the Adirondacks 1870

"Trapping in the Adirondacks" is a wood engraving by American artist Winslow Homer, dated 1870. The work depicts two men in a canoe, one paddling and the other holding up a dead animal. The scene, set in the wild landscape of the Adirondack Mountains, is a testament to Homer's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the rugged beauty of nature. The wood engraving technique contributes to the artwork's sense of realism and depth, highlighting the texture of the canoe and the surrounding foliage. This artwork is a classic example of Homer's early work and is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection.
