Description
A rare Provincetown white-line woodcut by Hope Hazard Voorhhes. Another impression of this image was dated 1930. She noted that this was number 4 and she had 2 other duplicates available, so it is possible the edition was only 4. Each impression would be printed slightly differently and she probably didn't date them until she sold them. Though she was asking "only" $15.00 in 1933 that would be about $450.00 today, adjusted for inflation, so it was not inexpensive during the depression and there were not a lot of sales.
