Ice Cutting: Compositional Study [1] of 1, [between 1949 and 1951]
Two compositional studies matted together on board. At top is a large circular drawing of the tool assembly on tracing paper taped over the bottom portion.
Ice Cutting (draft 1), [circa 1952]
Ice Cutting (draft 2), [circa 1952]
Ice Cutting (draft 3), [circa 1952]
Ice Cutting: Preliminary Study [1] of 8, [between 1949 and 1951]
Various large sketches of tools. Large sketch in the upper left is difficult to identify. Sketches at the bottom and to the right look similar; one is labeled "snow scraper." It is different from the scraper engraved in the foreground of the final image, in that this one has two short handles and its teeth seem to form a diamond-shape.
Ice Cutting: Preliminary Study [2] of 8, [between 1949 and 1951]
A torn, half-sheet of paper. The profile of a man with a hat, and a sketch of some sort of ice-spear.
Ice Cutting: Preliminary Study [3] of 8, [between 1949 and 1951]
Sketch of two men cutting ice. The ice appears divided by parallel lines running from front to back, and the two men are cutting perpendicular to these lines.
Ice Cutting: Preliminary Study [4] of 8, [between 1949 and 1951]
Sketch of two men cutting ice. One is seen in profile, with both hands pushing down on a long, toothy saw; behind him, a man leans towards the viewer, pushing down on two handlebars. A large rectangular ink-stain appears on the right side of the page.
Ice Cutting: Preliminary Study [5] of 8, [between 1949 and 1951]
Three sketches of calipers, each open to a different width. Bottom corners of page are torn.
Ice Cutting: Preliminary Study [6] of 8, [between 1949 and 1951]
Barn with a chute leaning down from the window on the building's left side. A few trees visible behind. Bottom right corner of page is cut away.
Ice Cutting: Preliminary Study [7] of 8, [between 1949 and 1951]
Ice groover and ice saw. Sketches labeled "groover" and "saw" (the saw is incomplete).
Ice Cutting: Preliminary Study [8] of 8, [between 1949 and 1951]
Five large sketches of tools, labeled "Ditching knife used in salt marshes," "broad axe," "beetle," "sheep shears," and "corn cutter" (?).
Ice Cutting: State 1, [between 1949 and 1951]
Partial proof: the bottom foreground is left blank. Print quality is poor, speckled with white spots. No corrections appear.
Numbered 1 in upper right corner.
Ice Cutting: State 2, [between 1949 and 1951]
Partial proof: the tool assembly in the foreground is left blank, and drawn in with graphite.
Numbered 2 in upper right corner.
Ice Cutting: State 3, [between 1949 and 1951]
Two sheets glued together: the larger, bottom sheet is a partial proof, with the tool assembly drawn in with graphite. Above it is attached a print of the early stage of the tool assembly, aligned so that it fits almost seamlessly with the print below.
Numbered 3 in upper right corner.
Ice Cutting: State 4, [between 1949 and 1951]
First full proof in the series. The tool assembly in the foreground still in an early stage of detail.
Numbered 4 in upper right corner.
