This is a rare hand cut silk-screened print. Willard (Bill) Ferguson, who had been owner of the Ten Mile House Gallery in Bedford, Nova Scotia, which sold Maud Lewis original works, conceived of the silkscreen project during Lewis' lifetime as a way of promoting her work. He acquired the copyright to artworks directly from Lewis in the early 1960s for the purpose of creating hand-made prints (each print requires the application of a hand-cut stencil for each colour, 8 in total). This particular print was created in 1982 by Bill Ferguson, and was acquired from the Bill Ferguson estate by the current owner.

- Maud Lewis (March 7, 1903 - July 30, 1970) was a Canadian folk artist from Nova Scotia. She was born with birth defects and ultimately developed rheumatoid arthritis, which reduced her mobility, especially in her hands. Lewis used bright colours in her paintings, and subjects were often flowers or animals, including oxen teams, horses, birds, deer, or cats. Many of her paintings are of outdoor scenes, including Cape Island boats bobbing on the water, horses pulling a sleigh, skaters, and portraits of dogs, cats, deer, birds, and cows. Her paintings were inspired by childhood memories of the landscape and people around Yarmouth and Digby locations. Lewis remains one of Canada's best-known folk artists; her works and the restored Maud Lewis House are displayed in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. Condition:
- Good condition - some handling marks noted.
