JACKSON LEE NESBITT
Open Hearth Men.

Etching, 1937. 112x 98 mm; 45/8x37/8 inches, full margins. Artist's proof. Signed, titled and inscribed "Artist's proof" in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this scarce print.

Impressed with the artist's skill at depicting industrial scenes, the president of Sheffield Steel asked Nesbitt to create a small etching for use as his personal Christmas card. Only a few proofs were pulled, one of which was reproduced for the card. From: Jackson Lee Nesbitt, Stone and Press, 1993.
