This beautiful Carroll Thayer Berry block print is done on a manila colored paper with a medium colored blue ink. The frame measures 15 inches high by 14 inches wide, the opening of the mat measures 10“ x 8 1/2“.
Across the top is the word “GREETINGS” and across the bottom it reads
“ Janet & Carroll Berry WISCASSET ME.”

The image is of the house that Barry shared with his 2nd wife on Pleasant Street Wiscasset Me.
I purchased this lovely work at auction and although the framing job is very good, it appears that there might have been a tiny bit of… Something on the mat knife when it cut the center opening. It’s not particularly obtrusive but you might want to reframe it. Please see the blown up photographs so you can see what I mean.
