Notes:
Title from catalogue raisonné.
Comstock and Fletcher number: 484.
From catalogue raisonné: Few proofs, commissioned to decorate David McCord's A Star by Day (Little, Brown & Co., 1950), where it appears as frontispiece and on the dust jacket. There are also proofs 6 1/8 x 3 15/16 [inches], of the print surrounded by a frame.
The catalogue raisonné indicates that there is uncertainty about the setting of the print, as it was kept by the artist in a folder titled "Mt. Chocorua" and that a similar drawing and proof are marked the same. |From item housing: For dust jacket-"A star by day" (poems by David McCord), published in 1950.
