Maple Sugaring 1872

"Maple Sugaring" is a chromolithograph print created by the American printmaking company Currier and Ives in 1872. The print depicts a scene of maple sugaring in a snowy forest. A group of people are gathered around a cabin, with a large pot of maple sap simmering over an open fire. The print is a classic example of Currier and Ives's work, which often depicted scenes of American life, especially the rural and industrial landscapes of the mid-19th century. The print has been reproduced many times and remains a popular and recognizable image of maple sugaring.
