"Young Mother" was done in 13 states, with only a couple of impressions of each for a total of between 26 and 36 for all 13 states. Though rare it is one of his most famous prints and impressions of it were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1937 and again in 1940. In a rare turn of events, Austin painted a watercolor, commissioned bt Twenty One Gallery, based on the print. Rare.
