CARL RUNGIUS
Alarmed.

Etching and drypoint, 1925. 159x215 mm; 6¼x8⅜ inches, full margins. Signed in pencil, lower right. A very good impression with richly inked burr.

Rungius (1869-1959) was the first career wildlife artist in North America. His rise to prominence 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.
