Lot Note(s): Signed and dated in ballpoint pen, lower left. Edition unknown, presumed extremely small, if any. Cream wove paper. Wide margins. Fine, strong impression. Very good condition with no issues save for very minor staining in the margins and a few tack holes, upper margin. Comment(s): Woodcuts by Tomlinson are rare and highly sought after. As to the "Anchor” image, in the first state (dated 3/5/57) the triangular area in the left arm of the anchor is grey, in the second (dated 3/24/57) it is blue; in the first state the right side of the left arm is brown, in the second state it is mottled black and copper with flecks of white. Tomlinson was a resident of Provincetown, a New England town located at the extreme tip of Cape Cod in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. It is famed for its "White Line Color Woodcut" artists, of whom she was one. She actively created prints there from at least the early 1950s to the mid 1970s.
