La Loma (Taos)

Woodcut printed in colors, 1919-1931, Chamberlain 62, from a projected edition of 100. 9 1/2 x 11 1/4 in. Signed, titled and numbered "28/100" in pencil and with the hand in heart chop mark. This is a superb impression with full margins. The condition is excellent. There is no apparent watermark. According to the catalogue, "Impressions inscribed "26/100" and higher are quite different from earlier impressions. An impression inscribed "51/100" in the New Mexico Museum of Art (Plate 62.2) has the addition of black, which lends brilliance and clarity to the scene." Our impression is quite similar to the one in this Museum and was evidently printed in 1931. The highest known numbered impression is "65/100". (Note: The La Loma Plaza Historic District is an old neighborhood in Taos, New Mexico that was listed with the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.)
