Paul Berdanier (1879 - 1961), noted American artist and illustrator of Long Island, New York, is particularly known for his etchings. His work is displayed in many museums and galleries in the USA and abroad. This beautifully done print depicts a cottage and outbuilding nestled among trees alongside a stream.

Just above the title is the copyright symbol and E.J.S. 1942. The piece is framed in natural hardwood that looks like maple. The light cream mat board has double lines inked around the mat opening which adds some depth to the matting. The frame measures approximately 25.5 inches high, 31.5 inches wide, and 1 inch deep. The image measures approximately 17.5 x 23.5 inches. The back is covered with brown paper; E.J.S. COMPANY, 35271 is stamped on the back and there is a hand-written 63153-53-31.
