Description
Please note that our remaining inventory of this print consists of APs or “Artist Proofs.” We determine our edition number before printing, but we always print a few more broadsides than we think we’ll need for the edition, in case of mishaps during the process. When the edition is finished, any extra prints that survive outside of the edition are signed and labeled with “AP” in place of a number. Because we wait to sell the APs until the rest of the edition is sold out (so the remaining numbered prints will sell first), and because APs are otherwise identical in quality to the numbered prints, they are priced the same as our numbered prints.
“What one woman has done women can do.”
— Fay Fuller
This is an “unofficial” member of the Dead Feminists broadsides series, a small letterpress keepsake done in the style and spirit of the series, designed as a keepsake to commemorate its sister piece, a large 3-foot-by-3-foot steamroller print we created at the 2016 Wayzgoose Festival in Tacoma, WA.
The Write Path celebrates the life and work of Evelyn Fay Fuller, a teacher and journalist and the first female reporter for the Tacoma Ledger. She is best known, however, as the first woman to climb to the summit of Mt. Rainier—a feat she achieved in 1890. The climbing party that ascended the trail after Fuller found the path strewn with her hairpins, calling it “proof that a woman had really made it to the summit.” Fuller went on to found several mountaineering clubs in the Pacific Northwest, and wrote a long-running newspaper column about Mt. Rainier after she made her ascent.
The piece was printed by hand on an antique Vandercook Universal One press, on archival, 100% rag (cotton) paper, and is signed and numbered by both artists.
Paper size: 7 x 7 inches
Edition size: 212 prints
