About the Item
"Covered Bridge Near Columbia" - Woodblock Landscape on Tissue Paper
Bold woodblock print by Charles Surendorf (American, 1906-1979). A covered bridge spans a large valley over a river, leading to a winding mountain road. Above the bridge, there is a prominent mountain ridge. This piece is extremely high contrast, with black, saturated ink. However, it demonstrates Surendorf's careful use of highlights to keep the composition nicely balanced. His paintings and prints depict the rough-and-tumble life of the old California mining country in a regionalist style akin to that of Thomas Hart Benton.
Titled, numbered, and signed along the bottom edge: Covered Bridge Near Columbia 2d Ed/100 Charles Surendorf
Presented in a wood frame with a new black mat.
Frame size: 18.75"H x 24.75"W
Image size: 12.5"H x 17.5"W
Charles Surendorf was Born on Nov. 9, 1906 in Richmond, Indiana. Following graduation from Ohio State University, he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York City.
In 1935 he moved to the San Francisco Bay area and taught at Mills College. Active in the local art scene, he was director of the first San Francisco Art Festival. In 1946 Surendorf settled in the town of Columbia in the Sierra foothills. There he served as director of the short-lived Mother Lode Art School (1956) and produced works with an historic California theme.
His paintings and prints depict the rough-and-tumble life of the old mining country in a regionalist style akin to that of Thomas Hart Benton.

"Skating on Ladies' Pond Central Park": Winslow Homer 19th C. Woodcut Engraving
By Winslow Homer
Located in Alamo, CA
This Winslow Homer woodcut engraving entitled "Skating on the Ladies' Skating-Pond in Central Park, New York", was published in Harper's Weekly in the January 28, 1860 edition. It depicts a large number of men, women and children skating on a recently opened pond in Central Park. At the time of publication of this engraving, Central Park was in the early stages of construction. This engraving documents the very early appearance of Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux's masterpiece of landscape design. According to Olmsted, the park was "of great importance as the first real Park made in this century – a democratic development of the highest significance". The people of New York were very proud of the plans for their park. It was stated at the time: "Our Park, which is progressing very satisfactorily under the management of the Commissioners, will undoubtedly be, one of these days, one of the finest place of the kind in the world...Those who saw the Park before the engineers went to work on it are amazed at the beautiful sites which have been contrived with such unpromising materials; all fair persons believe that the enterprise is managed with honesty and good taste."
Skating was rapidly rising in national popularity in part due to the opening of Central Park’s lake to skaters on a Sunday in December 1858 with 300 participants. The following Sunday it attracted ten thousand skaters. By Christmas Day, a reported 50,000 people came to the park, most of them to skate. There were rules governing who could use the skating pond. “The Ladies’ Pond...
