Image measures: 6 5/8" H x 9" W. Unframed, Archaically matted in a 16 x 20 two ply. Charles (Chili) Merrick Capps (1898-1981) was a printmaker especially known for subtle tonal variations in aquatints. His friends called him "Chili.” His images included Midwestern scenes, Southwestern subjects and adobe architecture of Taos and Santa Fe. He created his own plates and turned out editions of about 100. He signed and numbered each one in pencil. In total, he completed about 80 prints, of which half are aquatints, a third etchings and dry points and the others block prints and lithographs. An active member of the Prairie Print Makers of Kansas, he served as its President for 23 years. He was also active in the Society of American Etchers, the Chicago Society of Etchers, Philadelphia Society of Etchers, Northwest Printmakers and Printmakers Society of California.
