Dorsey Potter Tyson Signed Etching Hand Painted with Original Asian Decorated Frame Title “Junks and Coolies” 

Dorsey Potter Tyson:
American printmaker 1900-1971
Online biography of the artist "was born in Maryland; however, much of D.P.Tyson’s market was in England. His prints sold alongside those of the Elyse Ashe Lord, riding on the wave of popularity for the Art Deco style which was in vogue at the time. Like Elyse Lord, Dorsey Potter Tyson drew his inspiration from a wide range of oriental sources and like Lord, his art was essentially decorative in nature.
Dorsey Potter Tyson's highly decorative original colour prints appear, at first glance, to be colour printed etchings, which have then been extensively coloured by hand. They are in fact, the result of skilful colour printing alone, using a technique which effectively combines the printing of a normal etching simultaneously with that of printing a monotype. The lines of the etched design, which compose the basic image art inked with black printer's ink, and the surface of the plate is then cleaned in the manner used for printing a normal monochrome etching. Thick, coloured printer’s inks are then painted onto the surface of the plate using a brush as though painting a plate for a monotype printing; the proof is then printed at one pull through the press. This is a very time-consuming method of colour printmaking, but the results are striking and extremely decorative."

The woodblock is in it's original hand decorated and painted Asian style frame, the edition is numbered in pencil 81/100 and is signed in pencil by the artist.  Pleas see the detail  of this area.
Title is “Junks and Coolies” 
The Chinese Junks in the background with the merchant workers unloading the cargo, a wonderful and tranquil scene of the business of shipping. The sails and boats are painted and decorated showing the colorful nature of the Chinese Junks.

A slight departure from the other two Tyson pieces I have posted but the etching still has the elegant and Art Deco quality that the other two have.
The etching is fully decorated and painted by the artist. 

Size: The Frame is 13.5 x 14.5 inches
         The Mat is 7.5 x 7.25 inches

*note: I have not taken the art out of it's original frame and the mat is original to the piece. There are no signs the piece has ever been removed from  the frame and or the mat as ever been replaced. Please see the details. 

Condition: the frame has signs of age with slight bumps and marks to the edge. The frame's glue is slightly separating at the seams. Please see the images. The etching is very fine with some toning to the page but is constant to the age and type of paper used.
