Description

A six-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting an elevation view of the post office building in Old Deerfield, Massachusetts. The print is dry mounted to single ply chipboard. First built in 1912, the post office was remodeled in the 1950’s to resemble the 17th century meeting house that once stood on the Deerfield common; see web link. Country Prints produced this print within a few years of the remodeling.
