Little Man Press, Summer 1939

October 3, 2011   //   1930s, Cincinnati, Little Man Press, Robert Lowry, woodcuts

Another rare (and previously unseen) print acquired from a recent estate sale in Cincinnati. As with all prints from Flora’s productive post-Art Academy period, the original block cannot be located (possibly having been destroyed or discarded by Flora’s LMP partner Robert Lowry). The above water-damaged print is unsigned, untitled, and unnumbered. No documentation exists regarding the work’s purpose (e.g., publicity, ad, edition print, chapbook page). The faded vertical center section (and lack of signature) implies this print could have been an early strike, when the block had not been thoroughly inked.
