JOHN MARIN
Downtown, the El.

Etching on cream wove paper, 1921. 173x222 mm; 6 3/4x8 3/4 inches, full margins. Edition of approximately 275. Signed in pencil, lower left. Published by The New Republic, New York. A superb, dark impression with warm plate tone.

According to Zigrosser, the total edition of The New Republic portfolio was approximately 500, but the quota for Marin etchings was divided between this print and another, Brooklyn Bridge and Lower New York, 1913 (Zigrosser 106), effectively splitting the edition of the Marin's prints. Zigrosser 134.
