As the Fire Burneth, Psalms BPL 654, 1951-52 (woodblock)

Leightons epic project Psalms. (The Book of Psalms [and] The First Psalm of David, the Book of Proverbs [and] The Book of Ecclesiastes) was published by Doubleday, 1952. This image had particular poignancy for Leighton who devoted much of her life to teaching art to children who - by virtue of their social background - would not normally have had access to an education in art. Hear Ye Children was published in an edition of 75 from this original (now cancelled) block. It is recorded as no. 654 in the Boston Public Library catalogue of Leighton's work.
