The artist's first lithograph. Wood (1891-1942) was urged to make lithographs by the New York art dealer Reeves Lowenthal, who sent lithographic stones to the artist in Iowa in 1934. Three years later, Wood created Tree Planting Group and subsequently, in several years following, the remaining 18 lithographs which comprise his entire printed oeuvre. Cole 1.
