In the early 1900s, the remarkable artist William S. Rice crafted stunning woodblock prints that beautifully captured the essence of California’s breathtaking natural landscapes. Stationed in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area, he collaborated with fellow artisans who shared a deep admiration for the Arts and Crafts movement. This group championed simplicity in their creations, vehemently rejecting the impersonal, factory-line production methods that were becoming increasingly prevalent due to industrialization. They sought to infuse dignity into their work, mastering every detail of their craft.
Following this philosophy, Rice meticulously produced his block prints, overseeing the entire process from initial design, through carving the blocks, to the final printing. This puzzle set features Rice’s exquisite woodblock prints, offering a tangible connection to his artistry. An insert showcases the full scope of the featured artwork. The sturdy box not only displays the completed puzzle and original artwork but also serves as a perfect storage solution, keeping the puzzle pieces safe, secure, and in pristine condition.
