6.875 x 8.25 (in)
14.75 x 16.25 x 0.75 (in) Framed
Signed in pencil Edward Hopper, lower right
Dimensions reflect plate size. Sheet measures 12 x 14.25 (in).
A very fine impression with strong contrasts.

This etching was printed prior to the steel facing of the copper printing plate.
We believe this etching was printed by the artist himself in 1921 prior to the 1924 edition published by The New Republic, New York due to the notations and white paper, as opposed to the buff paper of the standard edition of approximately 500.

Provenance: Private Collection, Scottsdale, Arizona passed by family descent from Mrs. Jeannette Baker, Iowa acquired from Des Moines Art Center in the early 1940s.

References: Levin 82, Zigrosser 22.
