Dorothea Dix

Collins Cover Announcement 

DOROTHEA DIX

This famous American woman gained her reputation as a reformer and a pioneer in the movement for more humane treatment of the insane. A pair is officially canceled in Hampden, Maine and a second pair is unofficially canceled in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston was the site of much of Dorothea's early work.

The cachet shows an oval portrait done in simple but strong lines. Design and hand painting are unpretentious keeping with the character of this strong American woman. Item #H701 - $5.50
