Historic Maple Sap Collection in Winter Forest - Vintage Illustration #170531 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white woodcut illustration depicts a bearded man in period winter attire-long coat, boots, and wide-brimmed hat-carrying two wooden sap buckets suspended from a wooden yoke across his shoulders. In the background, a sled holds a large wooden barrel for sap collection, while another bucket rests against a maple tree trunk, suggesting active tapping. The snow-dusted ground and bare trees reinforce the late-winter setting essential for traditional maple sugaring.
