Scope and Contents: Lubell 6/15: 108 Colored white line woodcut print of a large, black vulture circling three sleeping women, while the scents and smoke of a large aroma lamp waft to the right. The women, in contrast to both the bird and the multiple blues of the sky, are colored in browns and greys that gives them the appearance of bronze statues. The end of the sky connects with a black line on the bottom and bottom-left parts of the picture to create an incomplete border. Signed Winifred Milius...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 6/15: 109 Colored white line woodcut print of a group of odd, quasi-figural characters engaged in some kind of dance.

Prints 110a and 110c are the mirror...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 6/15: 111 Colored white line woodcut print of the Greek goddess, likely lamenting the loss of her daughter Persephone. A second woman is reaching out to her, while two in the background move with white palm fronds. Like other white line woodcuts, the colors are striking: a red sun and dark blue sky make a striking background image, contrasting further with purple, green, and light blue clothing, red fruits, and brown skin. Signed Winifred Milius Lubell. See woodcut titled...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 6/15: 112 Colored white line woodcut print of Hekate, the Greek goddess identified with the moon, witchcraft and sorcery, and magic. Many of the visual elements identified with her – a torch, wings, wild dogs, and her triple-bodied form among them – are used here.
