Few details in the record fix where this winter scene was set, so the title, "American winter scene," is the best guide to what it shows. Attributed to C.F. Witman and dated around 1874, it belongs to a long run of popular prints from the 1870s that presented snow-covered towns, sleighing, and skating as images of everyday home life. The entry includes a U.S. Copyright Office number, suggesting the print was registered for protection when it was issued. A shelflist card also names Hoover, Joseph in connection with the item, but the library notes that this link is unverified.
