This is a beautiful Print by a well known artist famous for his Bird Prints.Maurice R. Bebb (1891–1986) (or M. R. Bebb as he signed his work) was a notable etcher and printmaker of the American Midwest, whose best-known subjects were birds native to Oklahoma and Minnesota, where he spent his time. Etching involves using copper plates on which an artist has etched or “bitten” his picture with acid. Color etchings like Bebb's require two to four copper plates, each is inked with one or more different colors and printed one over the other to produce the finished picture. Technically, the process is called multi-plate soft-ground and aquatint etching.Bebb started his Bird Prints in 1951 so this is an early work Signed, dated and titled in pencil. The frame appears to be original and the mat should be replaced with an acid free mat.A delightful image and a wonderful gift for a new mother.Shipping is Free, Paypal accepted.
