Description
Title: Cider Making
Artist: William Sidney Mount (American, Setauket, New York 1807–1868 Setauket, New York)
Date: 1840–41
Though this scene convincingly captures a moment in rural life, its inspiration lay in the political maneuvering surrounding the hard-fought presidential election of 1840. The image of down-home simplicity embodied by the cider makers was evoked by the Whig candidate, William Henry Harrison, promoted as a common man who preferred a log cabin and hard cider to the supposed excesses of the Democratic White House of Martin Van Buren.
The cider mill immortalized here stood in Setauket, Long Island, until the early twentieth century.
