Handcolored woodblocks on paper, both signed in pencil and dated 1969. Each in the manner of a European illuminated manuscript, but incorporating Mayan texts and iconography. Identically framed, 15 1/4"h. 13"w. and 9 1/2"h. 13"w. Dale Nichols (Nebraska/Illinois, 1904-1995) is principally known for his regionalist Midwestern farm paintings.
