JOHN SLOAN (1871-1951)
The Women's Page. Etching, 1905. 127x177 mm; 5x7 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2). Printer's proof, aside from the edition of 100. Titled and inscribed "Peters Bros. imp. - Printer's proof" by the artist in pencil, lower margin. Printed by Richard and Gustav Peters, Philadelphia. From New York City Life. A superb, richly-inked impression with very strong contrasts.
Sloan (1871-1951) produced his New York City Life series of ten etchings from 1905-06, recording the lives of the city's tenement dwellers. Sloan found these prints difficult to market to buyers, as they were not accustomed to seeing such honest depictions of everyday life. Morse 132.
