Height 23 in., Width 27.5 in. Signed lower right. Edition 4/10. This evocative multi-color woodblock print captures the rugged rhythms of New England lobstering culture at its mid-century peak, when small-boat fishermen still worked the coastal waters in the dory tradition stretching back generations. Dillons confident layering of teal, black, and sage tones reflects the influence of the mid-century American printmaking revival, a movement that elevated everyday labor and regional landscape to the level of fine art. The composition foreground fishermen hauling traps against a receding fleet and misty headland draws on a long lineage of maritime genre imagery rooted in the work of Winslow Homer and the Gloucester School. As a small-edition print (4/10) by a skilled regional artist, this work represents the kind of intimate, place-specific craftsmanship that defined American studio printmaking in the postwar decades.
