Description

Artist: Pauline Inman Medium: Wood Engraving Old Accession Number: 689 Description: Pencil signed. 1948. Second Copy. Sunday, 1948 Wood Engraving This wood engraving captures the engulfing hush that fell over mid-century small towns on Sunday–businesses were closed, and families were together. The deserted General Store with its empty front porch along the vacant main road marked as “Maine US 1” evokes the quality of still, halcyon small-town Sundays.
