About this artwork

Baumann created this print using seven woodblocks. By overlapping the colors while printing, he yielded more varied colors and effects than would otherwise have been possible. This print carries the unique seal of Baumann’s Swanli Press studio, which he used only during his time in the village of Wyoming, New York.
