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 impression of this very scarce, early etching with crisp, inky plate edges.

This is one of Hassam's earliest New York etchings, representing a scene on Broadway between 55th and 56th Streets. Cortissoz/ Clayton 87.
