Lot Essay

"No final early proofs are known to exist...The plate for this etching, along with three blank copper plates of the same size, was found individually wrapped in a small box in April 1974, when the last of the artist's effects were being catalogued at Asgaard Farm, Ausable Forks, N.Y. Thirty proofs were printed from this plate on May 14, 1974, by Letterio Calapai at his Workshop Gallery in Glencoe, Ill., for the Rockwell Kent Legacies."--Burne Jones 153.
