Description: A magnificent sheet of the scarce 'raised line' Woodblock Print by Bertha Lum, rarely found. Raised Line Prints by the Artist were extremely labor intensive, produced in small numbers on heavy paper in a fashion reminiscent of stained glass. The Artist would mold wet paper over a carved wooden block and hand-paint the embossed paper using the raised lines to define the areas of color. No two of these prints are identical.
