Petunia
Woodcut printed in colors, 1907-08, Vasseur 51, edition unknown. 7 x 4 5/8 in. Signed in pencil. This is a good, subtle impression printed on thin wove paper. The margins are narrow and the print is attached at the top corners to a support sheet, probably done by the artist. The condition is very good apart from glue spots from the verso showing at the top two corners in the front. This is a rare, early pencil signed proof without the chop mark which later appears in the lower left corner of the image. There was a small edition published in The Bibliophile Magazine, 1, no. 6 (August 1908) facing page 287. Those show a circular chop mark which is different from Hopkins' red peapod chop. This impression is cited in the catalogue raisonne'.

Purple Asters
Woodcut printed in colors, about 1910-13, Vasseur 57, edition at least 27. 10 3/4 x 7 1/8 in. Signed and numbered "11" in pencil. This is a fine, luminous impression printed on a light beige Japanese paper. The margins are full and the condition is generally quite fine. (There's a small stain the in the lower left corner of the margin.) This very rare work beautifully combines a variety of vibrant colors on the top of the composition and subtle understatement in the bottom half. This daring composition and inventive mix of colors shows the artist as a master of the arts and crafts color woodcut, particularly as observed in her floral prints. The Bibliothèque Jacques Doucet in Paris owns a series of seven color-block separations (progressive proofs) numbered 1-7.
