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 at a fundraiser 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.
