CHILDE HASSAM
The Athenaeum, Portsmouth.

Etching and drypoint printed on an antique Bible sheet, 1915. 214x152 mm; 8 1/2x6 inches, full margins. Signed with the cypher and inscribed "imp" in pencil, lower center. With the artist's tack holes for drying at the extreme sheet edges. A superb, richly-inked impression of this very scarce, early etching.

We have found only two other impressions at auction in the past 25 years. Cortissoz/Clayton 14.
