FRANCES H. GEARHART and Sisters (THE GEARHARTS)  

SEA TREASURES  c.1928

This is an original blockprint from  “Let’s Play”, an  intended but unpublished children’s book done in collaboration with her 

sisters. 7 3/4” x 7 in. on fibrous japan paper. There were very fewprinted. Good colors, generally good condition with

full margins with deckle edge. However,  a few areas of discoloration in the margins particularly thelower margin.

A printers crease below the image. All and all, a very exceptable example of this print.
