Additional Details

In 1883 the Rembrandt Club of Brooklyn sponsored a competition for best original etching of at least 10x15 inches. Morning, which evokes Moran's vision of deep sublimity through the struggle of natural forces, won first prize. The plate became property of the club, and 100 perfect impressions were pulled from the plate, with each etching signed by Moran with his remarqué. The Rembrandt Club award was one among many awards and invitations to honorable arts organizations that Moran would earn in the decade of the 1880s, establishing his importance to contemporary etching and his growing interest in the print market (Anderson, pages 296-97).
