An exceptional example of the color whiteline method developed in Provincetown, MA in the early 20th century. This print is sold with a second state from the block, printed in black and white. Mary Mullineux was born in 1875 in Germantown, PA. She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and privately with a number of artists, including William Merritt Chase. She also studied with Hugh Breckenridge in Rocky Neck, Cape Ann, MA and learned the white-line color woodcut technique there. She was associated with the Provincetown Printmakers and was included in the 1983 exhibition at the National Museum of Art, "Provincetown Printers: A Woodcut Tradition" curated by Janet Altic Flint.
