Harold Wescott was a prominent Milwaukee printmaker with an association to the WPA. Established in 1935, Wisconsin Printmakers published its first of three annual calendars in 1936, in a limited edition of about 2500 copies. The 1938 calendar, the last issued, was a more elaborate format, with contributions from 38 Wisconsin artists “whose work in oil water color, and the crafts is known locally and outside the state." Harold Wescott was included in this last publication. He was also a painter and teacher at the State Teacher's College.
