Mary Earle-Sigler — Block Print of House

Mary Earle-Sigler -- Block Print of House

This block print is of a 1924 Georgian Revival house that was recently bought and now inhabited by the Siglers. The artist Mary Earle-Sigler, who formerly signed her work as MC Earle, and early in her career MEARLE, has signed this piece with a concise “MES.” What is she trying to tell the viewer this new moniker? Does MES also serve as a terse, phonetic description of the state of the house?

A very limited number of prints were produced and then scattered across North America via the postal system. Most of these prints now reside with people previously unaware of the Siglers relocation, the reasons behind which are still unclear to even those close to them.

Mary Earle y’all, Mary Mary Earle y’all!

    Mary Mary Mary Mary Earle Y’all!!!

    I have my hopes up for a MES in the mail, but they’re dashed by your cryptic message: “Most of these prints now reside with people previously unaware of the Siglers relocation, the reasons behind which are still unclear to even those close to them.”

    I want my MEStv!!!
