Comments:
Very good condition. Good margins. Printed on cream wove paper, watermarked POYPE, other prints have shown the watermark RIVES (Jones 1975:112). Printed by George Miller for the American Artists Group, New York. One of one thousand prints distributed to the general public. Transferring with the print is a yellow printed panel that was at one time attached to the back of the original mat. In perfect Rockwell wit it reads:
And Now Where
This print is an original lithograph made by me and printed with my
approval and under my direction. It is in every respect the equivalent
in quality of those prints issued by me in limited editions and sold at
comparatively high prices. It's price is made possible by the edition not
being arbitrarily limited.
"My contract with the publishers, conceived in the public interest, prohibits
my signing these prints except on payment of such a fee as I may consider the
equivalent of time and trouble presumably involved. I may therefore say to collectors
of autographs (I am myself not one) that upon the receipt of this print and ten dollars
I will affix my signature to it and return it properly packed and insured to the sender.
But, dear collector, don't waste your money.
Rockwell Kent"

Found in numerous museum collections.
