The New Year—1869
| Engraving after a drawing by Winslow Homer showing a crowned Baby New Year riding a velocipede through a hoop held by a woman, as the Grim Reaper, on the right, pushes a wheelbarrow containing the lifeless body of a man representing the year 1868. A city skyline including a ringing bell tower are behind a wall in the background. There is a black cat on the top of the bell tower silhouetted on a full moon. A clock at right shows midnight. There are hourglasses in both upper corners, one labeled 1868 with all of the sand at the bottom and one labeled 1869 with all of the sand at the top. Posies litter the ground in front of the arriving Baby New Year. |
