Beautiful engraved reproduction of an original drawing by Winslow Homer titled "Gathering Berries."

  • This engraved view is printed on a heavy cream-colored stock. It is titled in the lower margin, and the image area measures 23.5 x 35 cm [9¼" x 13¾"].


  • The overall size of the sheet is 11" x 15¾".


  • The drawing shows a group of girls and boys with cups and buckets gathering blueberries in a field near the coast. A schooner sails serenely by in the distance.


  • Philip Beam, in his book on Winslow Homer, says this print is an excellent illustration of the artist's "accent on carefree youth" — a theme "brought to a climax in the mid-seventies" after the horrors and traumas of the Civil War.


  • "Gathering Berries" was originally published in the July 11, 1874 edition of Harper's Weekly. This high-quality reproduction was created at a later date.
