Beskrivning
A detailed wood engraving by Winslow Homer depicting two men felling trees in a snowy forest, originally published in 1874.
Winslow Homer produced this wood engraving, titled Lumbering in Winter, for publication in Harper's Weekly in 1874. During this period, Homer worked extensively as an illustrator, documenting various aspects of American life. The image depicts two men engaged in manual labour within a dense, snow-covered forest. The foreground figure, positioned on snowshoes, is captured in the act of swinging an axe against a large tree trunk. A second figure works in the middle distance, further emphasising the physical demands of the trade.
Homer employs a precise, linear technique characteristic of nineteenth-century wood engraving. The texture of the tree bark, the scattered wood chips on the snow, and the woven structure of the snowshoes are rendered with careful attention to detail. The composition relies on the verticality of the trees to create a sense of enclosure, while the diagonal slope of the ground provides a clear spatial arrangement. The contrast between the dark, vertical forms of the timber and the bright, white expanse of the snow creates a stark visual balance.
This work reflects Homer's interest in the relationship between individuals and their environment. Rather than romanticising the scene, he presents the activity as a straightforward, arduous task. The collaboration between the artist and the engraver, J.P. Davis, whose name appears in the lower corner, was a standard practice for mass-produced illustrations of the era. This print offers a glimpse into the industrial and seasonal realities of the American frontier, captured through the lens of a draughtsman who would later become one of the most significant figures in American painting.

Artist Biography
Winslow Homer
Homer started as an illustrator for Harper's Weekly, covering the American Civil War. He was not a soldier. He was a correspondent, sketching camp life, sharpshooters, and prisoners with the detached accuracy of a reporter. The war drawings were published as wood engravings and brought him national attention. He was twenty-five.
He moved from illustration to painting without formal training, learning oil technique largely by observation. His early paintings are genre scenes of rural American life: children playing, women on croquet lawns, the kind of post-war pastoral that the public wanted. They sold well. He was dissatisfied with them.
In 1881 he went to Cullercoats, a fishing village in northeast England, and spent two years painting the women who waited on the shore for the fishing boats to return. The Cullercoats paintings are darker, more dramatic, and more serious than anything he had made before. The sea became his subject.
He moved to Prouts Neck, Maine, in 1883 and lived there, mostly alone, for the rest of his life. The Maine paintings, The Gulf Stream, Northeaster, Right and Left, are about the confrontation between human beings and the ocean. The figures are small. The water is enormous. The light is cold. He painted the sea the way Constable painted clouds: from direct observation, over years, until he understood its behaviour.
His watercolours, made on fishing trips to the Adirondacks, Florida, and the Bahamas, are freer and more experimental than the oils. Tropical sunlight and clear water brought out colours he did not use in Maine. He died in 1910, at seventy-four.
