The print is numbered 185/750 in the lower left corner and features a plate signature. Attached to the verso is documentation from the Paul Sawyier Galleries and the University of Kentucky Art Museum, which identifies the original work as a watercolor painted during the artist’s residence at High Bridge and Shakertown Village between 1908 and 1913.
