Another Gale Mueller Feathursday

Here are more relief prints of birds by Spokane, Washington printer and printmaker W. Gale Mueller (1927-2018) from his Forty Years of Birds ‘n Blocks, printed from the original blocks at his Millstone Press in 2009 in an edition of 53 copies. From 1969 to 2009, Mueller and his wife Bonnie sent holiday cards with Gale’s original bird prints using several relief print processes. Today we show some linocuts and an early wood engraving from 1982-1993. For those who want to know more about these birds, here you go:

Varied Thrush (Ixoreus naevius)

Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus)

Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)

Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus)

House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus)

Our copy of this book is a gift from our friend Tony Drehfal.
