Overhaul by Jess
1947

A black and white etching depicting a rural scene with a man operating a cider press. The press is constructed around a large tree trunk, with a lever mechanism that the man is using to press apples. A bucket of apples and a barrel are visible on the ground. In the background, there are trees, a fence, and two dogs, one of which is drinking from a trough. The artwork is signed and numbered in the lower corners.
