The catalog record offers little about the scene itself, so the title and the date of about 1876 are the main guides. The print carries a U.S. Copyright Office reference, which suggests it was submitted for copyright registration, a routine step for popular American prints of the period. A name on the original shelflist card, Restein, is noted but unverified. In the 1870s, New Year's Eve in American towns was marked by watch-night church services, midnight bells, and toasts, and printmakers often turned such seasonal moments into sentimental or humorous scenes for a broad public.
