Outstanding original woodcut of a gaggle of strolling geese titled “Looking Ahead” by well-known New York and Vermont artist and printmaker Elfriede Abbe (1919-2012).
Born in 1919 in Washington, DC, Abbe graduated from Cornell in 1940. She worked as an illustrator for Cornell from 1942 until her retirement in 1974. She continued her artistic output from her studio in Manchester Center, Vermont, printing her own private press books, botanical illustrations, and wood engravings, and creating sculptures. Abbe's remarkable career began with the exhibition of her sculpture at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
