EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a scene from the 1840-41 oil on canvas painting titled "Cider Making" by William Sidney Mount. Measuring 68.6x86.7 cm, this artwork is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Commissioned by Whig leader Charles Augustus Davis, the painting alludes to the US presidential election of 1840. In this image, we see cider makers engaged in their craft against a backdrop of rural America. The simplicity and authenticity portrayed by these workers symbolize the ideals associated with Whig candidate William Henry Harrison – a war-hero who preferred humble living and hard cider over extravagance. The significance of this artwork lies in its political undertones. It contrasts Harrison's down-to-earth persona with Martin Van Buren's Democratic White House administration, which was blamed for financial turmoil during the Panic of 1837 due to its Jacksonian financial policies. This picturesque representation showcases traditional American farming practices and highlights the importance of cider-making as an integral part of North American culture during that era. As viewers gaze upon this masterpiece, they are transported back to a time when politics intertwined with everyday life on farms like those found in Setauket or Long Island. Through Mount's skillful brushstrokes, we are reminded not only of our nation's history but also how art can capture both beauty and political commentary simultaneously.
