Huntley, Charleston, No. 1

Charleston, No. 1

Lithograph, 1949, 170 x 127 mm. Fine, fresh impression on white wove paper with full margins, signed and dated in pencil. Although a painter and muralist as well as a lithographer, Victoria Hutson, later Victoria Hutson Huntley, was never a big name in American art. Among her prints, however, there are more than a few that subtly and economically capture a scene and make it memorable. Rather than a regionalist, she was a traveler, generally in the Eastern United States, but her scenes successfully evoke a location, whether it is New England, Florida or, as here, the most charming city in South Carolina.
