Dorothy Newkirk Stewart (1891-1955) was an American painter and printmaker. Born in Philadelphia, she studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and moved to New Mexico in 1925, where she was one of the first women to establish a private printing press in the Southwest. Produced in only a small number, this is one of only a few woodblock books Stewart self-published in her lifetime.
