Maud Lewis Folk Art Print: Sleighs and Covered Bridge, Nova Scotia Winter
$58.54 $67.27
Details
Witness the essential infrastructure that sustained Maritime winter communities through Maud Lewis's nostalgic "Sleighs and Covered Bridge 1965," honouring the covered bridges that provided vital crossing points for horse-drawn sleighs navigating Nova Scotia's snowy river valleys during the season when reliable bridge access meant the difference between isolation and community connection. This evocative work showcases Lewis's deep understanding of how covered bridges embodied the engineering wisdom and community cooperation that enabled rural families to maintain transportation networks during challenging winter conditions, transforming bridge crossings into folk art documentation of the infrastructure heritage and winter mobility that sustained Maritime communities through generations of families who understood that covered bridges meant protected river crossings, reliable winter routes, and the architectural landmarks that guided travelers through snow-covered landscapes where bridge shelter provided both practical protection and the visual comfort that marked safe passage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any paper recommendations?
heavyweight paper or card stock is a perfect budget friendly choice. They range from glossy to a matte finish. โจPremium archival fine art paper with a slight watercolor or linen texture will result in the most authentic vintage art reproductions.

The frames used in our shop listings are product photos, and are not physical frames that are sold.
