Image 8-1/2 x 13-1/2 inches, plus margins; matted to 16 x 20 inches overall. 1 vols. Stow Wengenroth (1906-1978) is considered one of the finest American lithographers of the twentieth century. Born in Brooklyn, he is known for his detailed depictions of the landscapes of New England, particularly Maine, as is seen here in this depiction of Wiscasset, Maine.

Wegenroth chose to work in black and white rather than color, and his focus on shadow and light is particularly striking. Stuckey, The Lithographs of Stow Wengenroth, 172
