Two Men Digging - BJO NORDFELDT
Medium: woodcut printed in colors

BJO NORDFELDT
American, (1878-1955)
Woodcut printed in colors, 1906, Donovan 17, edition unknown. 11 1/4 x 7 5/8 in. Signed, dated and numbered "No. 205" in pencil. This is a superb impression on japanese paper trimmed to just outside the margin by the artist. The condition is fine. Our impression is nicer than the one illustrated in the catalogue raisonné. Nordfeldt was born in Sweden and later went to England to study with Frank Morley Fletcher. The year after this print was made the artist left Chicago for the east coast and ended up in New York. He summered in Provincetown, MA. This is a rare print in spite of the 'No. 205" written on it. Provenance: The Old Print Shop, NY. (Framed in a lovely arts and crafts oak frame.) $9,000
