Label TextBaumann printed trial proofs for each color of a planned final print, such as "Bound for Taos." This sheet shows the results obtained by printing the carved ochre block, which is adjacent to this proof. This ochre color provided elements to define the road. For the actual print, Baumann printed each color on a single piece of paper. The final print came from printing all the blocks. He repeated the process to make multiple prints.
