Scope and Contents

Lubell 9/6: 338a-b

Colored woodcut prints, with black outlines and shading, but with browns, oranges, grays, yellows and purple. Four stylized female figures surrounding a bird with an [internal] egg. 338a is labelled “Proof 1 Untouched,” and 338b is labelled “Proof 2.” See woodblock Midwives – Color (Lubell 460, Box 29). These prints are similar to Lubell 281 prints, but differ in size and in the more liberal use of color and the lack of a fetal bird in the egg.

338a – 39.5 x 30.8 cm

338b – 39.2 x27.3 cm
