Bath, Pulteney Bridge.

Etching and engraving, 1916-18. 150x173 mm; 6x6 3/4 inches, full margins. Third state (of 3). Signed in pencil, lower right. Ex-collection P&D Colnaghi, London, with their stock number in pencil, lower right; and Thomas Agnew & Sons, London. A superb impression of this very scarce print, with strong contrasts and crisp, partially inky plate edges.

According to Bromberg, P&D Colnaghi, London, "received six impressions in all of the first, second and third state from the artist on a sale-or-return basis in 1919." So the edition was extremely small; we have not found another impression at auction in the past 25 years. Bromberg 180.
