Blanche Lazzell diary

BLANCHE LAZZELL (1878–1956) PRINTMAKER Blanche Lazzell committed her most intimate thoughts to her diary. She wrote, THIS BOOK IS NOT INTENDED FOR OTHER EYES THAN THE WRITER’S, AND WHEN THEY ARE FOREVER CLOSED, I HOPE THIS BOOK WILL BE LAID IN THE FIRE. THIS IS ONLY A JOURNAL OF MY OUTWARD LIFE … GOD ALONE KEEPS RECORD OF THE REST. After graduating in 1905, Lazzell took up printmaking in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
