Note:	Margaret Ann Gaug: A fine post-war Chicago artist, Margaret Ann Gaug was known for her decorations, illustrative art, but most particularly, for her etchings. Studying at the Academy of Art in Chicago, Gaug began to exhibit her art throughout the United States and internationally. Margaret A. Gaug also designed greeting cards and illustrated such books as Leone Barrett's, Buffin (1935). National recognition, however, developed mostly with Margaret Ann Gaug's fine etchings and in 1941, at the age of thirty two, she was honored with a major 'one man show' at the National Galleries of the Smithsonian Institute. She won awards with the Chicago Society of Etchers in both 1950 and 1955. Margaret Gaug was a member of the Society of American Graphic Artists, New York, The Printmakers of California, The Chicago Society of Etchers, and the Prairie Print Makers of California and Illinois. Her etched art includes such master works as Ballerina, After Dinner, Davey Jones Locker, Submarine Interlude, Les Petits Enfants, George and the Dragon, Neptunes Daughter, Chicadees, Balinese Dancer, Christina, and many other works in this medium. This original etching entitled, Empress Eugenia is a striking, example of the etched of Margaret Gaug. Major institutions, which now include Gaug's etchings in their permanent collections, include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Brussels Museum of Fine Arts, Belgium, the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington.
	This original etching printed in colours hails from a period when Margaret Ann Gaug was experimenting with Japanese style printing techniques. A traditional method of Japanese woodblock printmaking is to both fold and shrink the thin paper after all colour blocks have been printed. This method was here adopted by Margaret Ann Gaug for colour etching, lending both a luminous quality and sharply defined areas of detailing. Unfortunately, these original etchings are very fragile and very few have survived in such a good state of preservation as this example.
