JOHN SLOAN James B. Moore.
Etching, 1905. 306x253 mm; 12x10 inches, full margins. Third state (of 3). Edition of 25 (from an intended edition of 100). Signed and inscribed "100 proofs" in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this extremely scarce print. We have not found another impression at auction in the past 20 years.
Moore, restauranteur and art collector, was according to Sloan: "A typical New York bon vivant Tammany man, a friend and patron of the artists. He was keen on enterprising artists and bought some pictures. But he couldn't keep up his restaurant," (Morse, p. 133). Morse 126.
