This woodcut, which Lum made into a bookmark was with a group of the artist's personal photographs, which she drew on to work out ideas for prints and paintings. The group was purchased at auction many years ago. The colors in Lum's impressions often vary, adding to their unique quality. Below, we have provided a link to a website which illustrates other impressions of this print. Link: http://www.bertha-lum.org/Catalogue%20p5.htm
