CARL RUNGIUS
Alarmed.

Etching with drypoint, 1925. 159x215 mm; 6 1/4x8 1/2 inches, full margins. Signed in pencil, lower right. A very good impression with inky burr.

Rungius (1869-1959) was the first career wildlife artist in North America. His rise to prominence as as an artist of western landscape and game coincided with the effort to preserve America's national treasures, spear-headed by Theodore Roosevelt, in the early 1900s. Crouch 6.
