CHILDE HASSAM The Billboards, New York.
Etching and drypoint, 1896. 120x160 mm; 4 5/8x6 1/4 inches, full margins. Signed with the artist's cypher and inscribed "imp" in pencil, lower right. A superb, dark and well-inked impression of this very scarce, early etching, with crisp plate edges and the artist's tack holes for drying at the extreme sheet edges.
This is one of Hassam's earliest New York etchings, depicting a scene on Broadway between 55th and 56th Streets. Clayton/Cortissoz 87.
