CAPE COD QUAIL

​CAPE COD QUAIL woodcut print by NANCY BEGIN, 1979
​#39/100. Valued at $150

​O.D. 23" x 19"          I.D. 16" x 12"

​Nancy Begin was influenced by the works of master etchers Frank Benson and Roland Clark. She is best known for her etchings and watercolors that depict the graceful flight of water fowl over the marshes, as well as the subtle beauty in New England landscapes.

We enjoyed our 2016 summer exhibit called WEDDING DRESSES THROUGH THE DECADES which won us an award from the AHSNH.

​A very special thanks goes to LINDA LOVERING whose idea for a display of her mother-in-law's wedding dress snowballed into a gala event. She poured her time, heart, soul, and decorating talents into helping to make it memorable. And to our curator KAREN LORD whose vision make it all work.
