Description

Charles Henry Granger (1812-1893) was an itinerant artist from Saco who at various times was also a poet, linguist, composer, musician, music teacher, sculptor, and draftsman.

Granger took advantage of the growing market for prints in Boston by publishing etchings. This one, Sugaring Off featured a group of colonists holding a sugaring off party in the woods where they celebrated and sampled the maple syrup produced that year.
