The colors are fresh. The condition is fine apart from a few subtle wrinkles in the lower margin from the printing process.

She was a founding member of the American Color print Society along with Mary Mullineux. She exhibited in Provincetown in the 1920s and 1930s and maintained a studio in Nantucket during this era.
