The inscription reads For Dorthea and Henry Dixon from Margaret Ervin Schevill. Portion of a handwritten letter from Margaret to Dorthea referencing the University gardens. Margaret Erwin Schevill (1887 - 1962) was active/lived in California, Arizona, New Jersey. Margaret Schevill is known for Indian figure and southwest landscape painting, writing. Known for her watercolor paintings as well as her writing of Southwest Indian subjects, Margaret Schevill was born in Jersey City, New Jersey and graduated with honors in 1909 from Wellesley College in Massachusetts. She taught English at Tucson High School in Arizona, and began to paint and write, expressing her love of the Southwest. She married Rudolph Schevill, who headed the Spanish Department at the University of California at Berkeley, and the couple moved there. She studied painting with modernist William Gaw, and in the 1920s began making trips into northern Arizona, which resulted in many watercolors of the Navajo Indians. The contents include: Foreword; The Way It Began' The Ninth Night of a Navajo Ceremony; Chants, Myths and Gods, Navajo Myths [8 presented]; Navajo Songs, The Medicine Man; Navajo Medicine Woman, Sand Paintings. and The Meaning. Hazel Dreis and her protegé Edward McLean came to private press publishing through their work as hand bookbinders. Dreis, the daughter of a Midwest newspaper publisher, developed a successful business in San Francisco, working with the famed Grabhorn Press, and other Bay area printers, before moving her studio to Santa Fe in 1939. McLean started out as a dancer, traveling throughout the country with the Denishawn Dancers, and apprenticing with Dreis only after a back injury brought an end to his performing career. In Santa Fe during the 1940s, the two produced one-of-a-kind art bindings, as well as edition work, and separately introduced their own private press publishing ventures. Louie Ewing was born in Pocatello, Idaho. In 1933 he moved to California and studied art in a junior college. He followed his art professor, Stanley Breneiser, to Santa Fe in 1935. Ewing married Marrie Breneiser, his teacher's daughter, in 1935, and the couple decided to stay on in Santa Fe. He joined the WPA's Federal Art Project working under Russell Vernon Hunter. In the late 1930s the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the Federal Art Project sent Russell a group of materials on the process of silk screening with encouragement to spread the technique in the Southwest. Russell selected Louie Ewing as the person to master the technique and show it to others. Ewing headed the WPA printmaking workshop in Santa Fe. Silk screening became a major artistic expression in the Southwest. Louie Ewing is viewed by some to be one of the first artists in the United States to "work creatively with serigraphy" on posters and book illustrations. He also did many landscape paintings of New Mexico. Ewing did not limit his artistic output to serigraphy. He also did many landscape paintings of New Mexico, working in nearly all media - watercolor, gouache, oil, stained glass, tile, sculpture. Ewing exhibitions were almost all confined to New Mexico. Ewing continued to produce serigraphs throughout his life. His body of work is one of the monuments to New Mexico life in the 1930s-1970s. Henry Horatio Dixon (1869-1953), Irish botanist, was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1869. He got his Sc.D. at Trinity College, Dublin and also was educated at the University of Bonn in Germany. He married Dorothea Mary Franks in 1907. Between 1892-1904 he rose from assistant to professor of botany at Dublin University and was university professor of botany from 1904 to 1950. He was professor of plant biology at Trinity College, Dublin from 1922; director of th.

In the 1940s the Laboratory of Anthropology commissioned Louie Ewing to produce several series of outstanding examples of prehistoric and historic Native American art from the museum's collections and other Southwestern sources. Each series typically included prints hand-printed and SIGNED by Ewing in limited editions of 500 copies or fewer which were distributed exclusively to members of the Laboratory of Anthropology. While the "Masterpieces of Primitive American Art" and "Modern Masterpieces of American Indian Art" series are occasionally found in the marketplace, the "Masterpieces of Maya Art" series is a rarer companion to his better-known series. Ewing was known for his pioneering work in serigraphy and created vibrant, accurate reproductions using the silk-screen process. "A Maya City" and "The Corn God" reproduce key examples of ancient Maya art and architecture as hand-printed serigraphs (silkscreens) with Ewing's characteristic technique, are signed by Ewing and are suitable for framing. The prints were created in collaboration with leading Maya scholars of the era; the portfolios were designed by Merle Armitage and printed by the Rydal Press in Santa Fe. Suitable for framing. The Corn God sculpture from Copán is in the American Museum of Natural History, New York.
