Maurice Bebb was a friend of mine. When I was in high school, he was quite elderly but making prints almost daily. He showed me his proceess of etching copper plates, then inking the plates (sometimes in multiple colors) and pulling the prints. He was masterful with color. Watching him create his etchings was inspiring and gave me a life-long love for process and production. Bebb was a member of the Prairie Print Makers and his work can be found on eBay regularly or at the website Maurice Bebb. His popular prints of birds and European scenes have amazing detail and show a master craftsman at work.
If you have Bebb prints to sell, please contact me at moderncraftonline(at)gmail(dot)com.

I love it!
I have several of his prints that my aunt passed on to me. They are lovely. I appreciate this information you have shared with all!
I wish I was as lucky as that! Listen, if you ever feel like you'd like to sell these, let me know as I'd love to have them. He was a great craftsman and artist. --JIM
