The record for this print gives only its title, *American winter life*, and a U.S. Copyright Office deposit number, L14217. The shelflist card links it to a firm called Gibson & Co., but that information is unverified, and no date is recorded. Winter scenes of sleighing, skating, and snowy streets were a staple of American popular prints in the nineteenth century, when inexpensive lithographs carried such everyday views into ordinary homes. Seen in that tradition, the picture offers a glimpse of how Americans pictured their own cold-season routines.
