EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Fall Games - The Apple Bee (Harpers Weekly, Vol. III), November 26,1859". This black and white wood engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a lively autumn gathering in America. In this scene captured by an unknown artist for Harper Brothers Publishers' Harpers Weekly magazine, we witness the joyous celebration of fall games. Inside a cozy Victorian home with an open fire crackling in the background, men and women engage in various amusements centered around apples. A group of individuals can be seen peeling apples using utensils while others eagerly participate in a thrilling apple coring contest. Laughter fills the air as participants compete to remove apple cores with precision and speed. The atmosphere is filled with merriment as guests enjoy each other's company amidst pumpkin decorations adorning the room. Winslow Homer's detailed engraving brings out every element of this festive occasion, capturing both the excitement of competition and leisurely enjoyment. This nostalgic image offers a glimpse into pastimes cherished during that era – where simple pleasures like playing games indoors brought people together during the fall season. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this historic print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with traditions that transcend time.
