Dog
Wood engraving, 1929, Duffy 107, edition 100 (forty printed). 6 1/8 x 3 1/4 in. Signed in pencil and inscribed, "Greetings from Howard Cook - my self portrait." This is a very fine impression printed on thin japan paper and mounted at the top to a heavier support sheet. Fine condition. This was possibly intended as a holiday card and with the addition of "self portrait," I suspect the title of simply "Dog," does not tell the whole story here.

The margins are full and the condition is fine apart from old hinges on the verso at top, well away from the image. The church depicted here is the First Congregational Church in Springfield, MA. This historic church was built in 1819. There were actually three church buildings at this site before the 1819 structure, the first built in 1637.
