Garden Flowers - MARGARET PATTERSON - woodcut printed in colors

MARGARET PATTERSON
American, (1867-1950)

Woodcut printed in colors, 1921, Bakker 90, intended edition of probably 100. 10 1/4 x 7 1/4 in. Signed in pencil within the image, lower left. Signed and titled in pencil just below the image. This is a very fine impression with vibrant colors. The margins measure about 1/2" around but this is most likely the full sheet as printed. There's also a subtle wrinkle from the printing process which can be seen in the background at left and it extends somewhat into the image. The condition is very good apart from two small strips of scotch tape on the top and bottom edges verso. This is not visible from the front. The intense work involved in rubbing the colors into the back of the sheet from the blocks is perfectly demonstrated here. The end result is almost sculptural. Due to the labor intensive nature of printing just one impression, and given the scarcity of her prints, we doubt that the full editions were ever printed.      SOLD
