inches, wide
margins. Edition of approximately 275.
Signed in pencil, lower left. Published by
the New Republic, NewYork.A very good,
dark impression with warm plate tone.
According to Zigrosser, the total edition of
the New Republic portfolio exceeded 500,
but the quota for Marin prints was divided
between this print and another,
Brooklyn
Bridge and Lower New York
, etching, 1913
(Zigrosser 106), therefore making Marin’s
prints scarcer than the Hopper, Sloan,
Bacon,Miller and Haskell prints in the same
portfolio. Zigrosser 134.
