Mayhew, James D. — Print Documentation for "Divided We Stand " by J.D. Mayhew. Signed
San Francisco: Ernest F. De Soto Workshop, 1982. Detailed description of the edition of the lithograph. Signed in ink by artist and printer. This describes each color, the proofs and the edition. An experienced commercial artist in the San Francisco Bay Area, J. D. moved to the north coast of California 36 years ago where he became profoundly interested in the plight of the then-threatened Gray and Humpback whales. He began to incorporate whales into his artwork, and then a locally taught etching class introduced J. D. to that medium, which he found to be just right for his interests. He went on to become a master of the form and produce the huge catalog of marine and other etchings that you may now see in the galleries that represent him. DSW edition no. 152. Provenance: Estate of Ernest F. De Soto. .
