Fall Games – The Apple Bee (from "Harper's Weekly," Vol. III) 1859

"Fall Games – The Apple Bee" is a wood engraving by American artist Winslow Homer, created in 1859 for *Harper's Weekly*. Depicting a lively gathering of people engaged in an apple-themed game, the scene showcases Homer's early talent for capturing everyday life with a sense of realism. This charming print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, illustrates the social customs and festive atmosphere of rural America in the mid-19th century.
