Grace Arnold Albee

As a child, Grace Thurston Arnold had become fascinated with the engraved illustrations in her grandfather’s books; as an adult, she made this medium her specialty.
A black-and-white photograph of a woman seated at a table by a window. Her face, in profile, is in shadow. She looks down at a wood engraving. One hand steadies her woodblock while the other carves. Engraving and printing tools are scattered on the table, along with a small print.
