Sea Island Sentinels, Second Slate

Description:

Original etching in black ink on paper of a beach landscape with sloping dunes on either side. One palm tree sits just left of center, another fainter palm tree to its left. Weeds grow around their bases. The horizon and upper corners of the sky are defined by several hatched lines. The etchings in this series share the same subject and composition, but are made from two plates or slates. This is from the second slate.
Apparently pleased with this print, Ball named, numbered, and signed it, "Sea Island Sentinel 2/25 Mary Wilson Ball."
