Medium: white line woodcut printed in colors

WILLIAM S. RICE
American, (1873-1963)

White line woodcut printed in colors, circa 1925, from a very small edition. 9 1/4 x 6 in. Signed and titled in pencil. This is a superb, luminous impression printed on fibrous Japanese paper. The margins are full and the condition is fine. (The original paper tape hinges are at the top corners, recto.) Rice was born in Pennsylvania and later moved to California where he taught printmaking at the Alameda and Oakland public schools. Rice was a true craftsman and he authored two books on the subject of block printing. The white line technique, which he used for making this print, originated in Provincetown, MA. Only one block is needed to make the print.      SOLD
