GEORGE BELLOWS Preliminaries.
Lithograph on smooth, cream wove paper, 1916. 400x495 mm; 15 3/4x19 1/2 inches, full margins. Edition of 67. Signed, titled and inscribed "No. 60" in pencil, lower margin. A superb, dark and richly-inked impression of this scarce, important lithograph.
The scene shows high society figures, notably--and remarkably for the time--well-heeled, fashionable women, attending a prize-fight at Madison Square Garden, New York. This is Bellow's only prize-fight lithograph in which women are present. Mason 24.
