Romare Bearden's *Prevalence of Ritual* is a suite of five prints that draws upon African American spiritual traditions, mythology, and everyday life, weaving together fragmented figures and bold, rhythmic compositions characteristic of his celebrated collage aesthetic. Each work in the series is signed, dated, and numbered 52/100 by the artist, with sequential annotations from *P.R. I* through *P.R. V* inscribed in pencil. Co-published by Cordier & Ekstrom and Ives Sillman in New York, the prints bear the blindstamps of both publishers, underscoring the collaborative and culturally significant nature of this landmark edition.
