WILLIAM H. BRADLEY (1868-1962) THE CHAP BOOK. 1894.
19 3/4x13 3/4 inches, 50x35 cm.
Condition A- / B+: crease through upper right corner; minor repaired tears and slight losses at edges; pencil notations in top margin. Framed.
Affectionately referred to as Bradley's "Blue Lady," the image pictures a lady walking through the woods, ice skates in hand, a frozen river in the distance. A calm serenity pervades the scene, which speaks of the end of a pleasant day's outing. A hint of sunset is cleverly provided by red outlines on the trees. Koch p. 42, Kiehl 14, DFP-I 157, Reims 1136.
