Mary Louise King The Old Well Linocut Print – Vintage Folk Art Framed MLK Signed. The print shows a peaceful country well flanked by flowers, a wooden bucket, and a stylized tree in the background — all rendered in bold black-and-white detail. Artist : Mary Louise King (signed MLK). This is a vintage linocut print titled "The Old Well" by American artist Mary Louise King, known for her Depression-era folk art woodcut and linocut scenes. The print shows a peaceful country well flanked by flowers, a wooden bucket, and a stylized tree in the background — all rendered in bold black-and-white detail. This particular example bears the artist’s initials "MLK" in the lower left corner and is believed to be a mid-20th century reprint from the original 1935 block. It does not appear to be a modern digital reproduction; rather, it was likely pressed using traditional relief techniques consistent with King’s style. The framing appears to be from the 1970s–1980s, lending additional support to its mid-century origin.
