MARTIN LEWIS Dock Workers Under the Brooklyn Bridge.
Aquatint and etching, 1916-18 (printed later). 453x600 mm; 17⅝x23¾ inches, full margins. Edition of approximately 100. Signed "Martin Lewis, (L. D. L. 1973)" by the artist's widow, Lucille Lewis, and numbered 6/100 in pencil, lower margin. McCarron 15.
There are only approximately 5 lifetime impressions of this subject. In 1972, Kennedy Galleries, New York, planned a reprinting of this plate, with the consent of the artist's estate, to coincide with a major two-part retrospective exhibition of Lewis' work. Though an intended edition of 100 impressions was indicated, it is unclear if the edition was ever fully realized.
