Herrick's almanac.
Herrick's almanac is a yearly almanac of 1883, probably published in New York State by L.W. Warner, aimed at general rural and household readers and carrying patent medicine advertising. Its small woodcuts show farm and village life: a horse-drawn plough in a field, a blacksmith's forge with a horse and cart, a girl tending potted plants by a cottage, and two figures gathering produce under a tree. The rough, bold line work, with dense hatching and plain outlines, suggests a direct, folk-style vocabulary a designer could borrow for rustic labels or seasonal motifs.
