Original chiaroscuro woodblock print by American artist Nora Unwin. The title is Dutch Village, pencil signed and titled in the lower border. The image measures 8" x 12", printed with two blocks, brown and black inking, numbered 4/30, dated circa 1950, printed on a thin Japan type paper. It does not appear in the McGoldrick catalog. Unwin grew up in England and studied art with Leon Underwood, then at the Kingston School of Art and the Royal College of Art before moving to the United States in the 1940s, settling in Wellesley, MA and Peterborough, NH. She was a renowned artist, printmaker and children's book illustrator, and contributed greatly to the revival of wood engraving in 20th century America. She is represented in major museums and won numerous awards throughout her long career, including a Newbury Medal and the Hamilton-Merrill prize of the American Society of Etchers and Engravers in 1951.
