CALVIN BURNETT (1921 - )
His First Steps.

Color lithograph and embossing, circa 1965. 440x630 mm; 17 1/2x24 7/8 inches (sheet), full margins. Signed, titled and numbered 5/8 in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this very scarce print.

Provenance: The owner purchased this print while a student at Brandeis University in 1965 to raise money for the March on Mississippi. The artist likely donated the work himself as he was an active member of the NAACP at the time, and from the Boston area.
