Description
"Fall, Assiniboine River" was the second print in the 1931 portfolio "Ten Woodcuts", published in an edition of 200 prints, which contained seven color woodcuts and three wood engravings. The colors of the impressions vary from one to another, this being very subtly printed with transparent colors.
The Assiniboine River, a tributary of the Red River, runs through the prairies of western Canada in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It is named after the First Nation Assiniboines, derived from words in the Ojibwe and Sioux languages.
This impression comes with a sales label that reads: "Sold by Richardson Bros / Pictures, Frames, Artists' Materials / 332 Main Street / Phone 96 851 Winnipeg, Man."
