Home to Thanksgiving, and the harvest

The best-known picture here is Home to Thanksgiving, a Currier & Ives print of 1867 after a painting by George Henry Durrie: visitors arrive by sleigh at a snowy New England farmhouse, where the family comes out to meet them. It came out four years after Durrie's death and became one of the firm's most popular prints.

The other pictures follow the harvest: William Sidney Mount's Cider Making, painted on Long Island in 1840 and 1841; Millet's haystacks and turkeys from the countryside around Barbizon, in France; Pissarro's potato harvest at Pontoise; and Homer's boy carrying a pumpkin at Prouts Neck, Maine. Monet's stacks of wheat at the end of an autumn day and Vincent van Gogh's autumn fruit are here too.
