New Age
c. 1951

A detailed black and white etching depicting a rustic scene with a large wooden screw press, likely for cider making, in the center. Several figures are engaged in various tasks around the press, with one person turning the press handle and others handling baskets and barrels, suggesting a communal work environment. A wooden cabin and dense trees are in the background, under a sky filled with swirling clouds. The image has a signature in the lower right corner.
