A superb example of Dorsey Potter Tyson’s skilful colour printmaking technique which effectively combines the printing of a normal etching simultaneously with that of printing a monotype.

The American printmaker Dorsey Potter Tyson was born in Maryland; however, much of D.P.Tyson’s market was in England. His prints sold alongside those of the Elyse Ashe Lord, riding on the wave of popularity for the Art Deco style which was in vogue at the time. Like Elyse Lord, Dorsey Potter Tyson drew his inspiration from a wide range of oriental sources and like Lord, his art was essentially decorative in nature.

On fine simile Japan paper, with full margins and deckle edge. Very fine condition.
