ELLISON HOOVER McSorley's.
Lithograph on cream wove paper, circa 1930. 225x355 mm; 8 7/8x14 inches, full margins. Edition of 60. Signed in pencil, lower right. A very good impression of this extremely scarce lithograph.
McSorley's Old Ale House claims to be the longest operating tavern in New York, dating back to 1854. It is an East Village institution where the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Boss Tweed and numerous other famous personalities have visited, as well as John Sloan (see lot 44) and the Ashcan School artists.
We have found only one other impression at auction in the past 30 years.
