*Snow light*, a color etching dated 1983, stands out for its focus on the brightness of winter. Wanda Miller Matthews signed and titled this impression in pencil below the plate and marked it 41 of an edition of 50, so it is one of a limited run pulled from the same plate. The sheet is printed on BFK Rives paper, a French cotton rag stock that printmakers have long favored for its soft surface and its ability to hold fine line and rich color. The caption details are unverified, so the date and edition information are best confirmed against other sources.
