• DESCRIPTION: Signed and dated in pencil. <BR><BR> From the text issued with the wood engraving: <BR> "For some fifteen years I lived in a small town whose many rural qualities, such as part-time mayor and volunteer fire department, still belie its proximity to the big city. It stands atop the Palisades across from upper Manhattan, and a favorite walk of those of its residents who like walking, has for years been along paths that twist through trees and rocks close to the edge of the cliff. The primary visual stimulation of this pedestrian activity has been in looking out across the mile-wide Hudson to the jumbled parapets of New York, a view that in combining as it does so many elements of natural and man-made phenomena will, even after many years, still give a push to your basic metabolism. . .
