Rose worked in the Chesapeake Bay area, and chose African American people and her sense of their understanding of Biblical themes as major subjects for her lithographs and screenprints. As America comes to terms with the ways in which it finds permissible, or not, the depiction and characterization of one identity group by members of another, Rose's work will be ripe for appraisal and re-evaluation. Whatever the verdict regarding her presentation of the content, it will be recognized for its imaginative composition and her formal mastery of the printmaking techniques she used.

- TWELVE PRINTS BY CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ARTISTSBy Rockwell KentLocated in Portland, MEKent, Rockwell, et al. TWELVE PRINTS BY CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ARTISTS. Edited by Carl Zigrosser (1891-1975) and designed by Bruce Rogers (1870-1957) and printed by Edwin Rudge on watermaked Japan paper. Published by E. Weyhe, NY, 1919. Edition of 115 copies, of which 15 were reserved for the artists and collaborators, and 100 were for sale, this being one of the latter. Folio (19 x 14 inches, 48 x 36 cm.), cloth portfolio with title label, Title page, two pages of text by Zigrosser, Table of Contents and twelve plates of varying sizes, each signed by the artist. Erhard Weyhe (1883-1972) established the Weyhe Galley at 794 Lexington Avenue in New York in 1919, with Zigrosser as the Director. In addition to dealing in art, the gallery published prints, singly and in portfolios, usually of the work of emerging American Modernists. This portfolio, dating from the first year of Weyhe Gallery's existence was the first of these publications. Zigrosser engaged Bruce Rogers to design the portfolio, and also personally sought out the artists, visited their studios and selected the works to be included in "Twelve Prints." Blue Bird was Rockwell Kent's first published print (Burne-Jones 1) The Copyist at the Metropolitan (Morse 148) was being worked on when Zigrosser visited, and its inclusion in the portfolio preceded Sloan's own edition.
