About this work

This etching shows the Johnson Gate in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s a small, old entrance to Harvard Yard, drawn in fine lines. The gate’s ironwork stands out against the brick wall behind it. Woodbury used a printing method called etching here. He scratched lines into a metal plate, then inked it to make this print. The scene feels calm, like a quiet morning. Check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see this work in person.
