Sobre este artículo
[Columbus, Ohio]: New Model Printing Co, 1935. Unbound. Good. Photographically illustrated broadside. Measuring 11" x 14". Stiff card stock. Dampstain on the right hand margin, age-toning on the acidic card stock, small chips, repair with archival tape on the verso, a good example of a fragile and rare poster for the traveling exhibition of Pierce's woodcarvings from the Bible. The poster leaves blank space for the place, time, and price of admission for the exhibition and also advertises "Quartet Singing ... Good Music." Pierce (1892-1984) was born the son of a former slave in Mississippi, became an ordained minister and worked as an itinerant preacher displaying his carvings in the 1930s. Pierce was also a barber, sculptor, and woodcarver during his long career who lived in Columbus, Ohio. [With]: *Elijah Pierce: Woodcarver*. Columbus, Ohio: Columbus Museum of Art 1992. Large quarto. Illustrated wrappers. 256pp, heavily illustrated. The picture employed on this poster appears in the Introduction on page 11 of the catalog. A rare poster from early in Pierce's career as a woodcarver.
