Born in England, Clare Leighton is among the premier wood engravers of the 20th century. She emigrated to the United States at the outbreak of WWII and became an American citizen in 1945. In 1943 she received a teaching position at Duke University in Durham where she met Professor Frank Brown and joined in his efforts to document North Carolina folklore. It is her unsentimental depictions of life in the south and the north that are among her most valued works. Many of her wood engravings are in the collections of the Mint Museum and Duke University.

Both with toning; not examined out of the frame.
