In 1947, John Wilson won the James William Paige Traveling Fellowship and moved to Paris, where he worked in Fernand Léger's studio. Here, Wilson's use of shapes and forms resemble the rotund, elongated compositions favored by his teacher. By 1950, Wilson earned the John Hay Whitney Fellowship and moved to Mexico City.
Another trial proof of this print is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

City. Horizontal crease through image. A superb, richly-inked
impression of this scarce print.
John Wilson's Mother and Child, a study for the 1952 mural Incident
in Teotihuacan, Mexico, is one of his most impressive lithographs,
a tour-de-force drawing of contrast and volume. This is the larger
and earlier of the two versions, and is the first known impression
of this edition to come to auction. In addition to some differences
in the drawing, in this version, the artist's signature and date
are also added in the stone, lower left. Another impression is in
the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Estimate $7,000-10,000
