Robert W. Woiceske's etching "Winter Chores" stands out for its quiet attention to ordinary rural labor rather than to scenery, a theme that suited the Depression-era interest in everyday American life. The print was issued in Pasadena by the Print Makers Society of California in 1939, in an edition of 175 impressions, and it is signed in pencil below the plate as well as with a monogram on the plate itself. Prints like this one were often circulated through regional printmaking societies, which helped spread modest, affordable work to collectors across the country.
