Night Shade (Solanum Dulcamara)
Etching with hand coloring, 1917, edition unknown. 10 x 7 15/16 in. Titled in the plate. Signed and dated in pencil and with the following pencil dedication, "To Helen Hyde, with appreciation." This is a fine impression printed on thin Japanese paper. The margins are full and the condition is very good. (There's a paper imperfection near the top of the image and a subtle thin spot, lower right, inherent to the paper.) Jacques was one of the founding members of the Chicago Society of Etchers and she's best known for her botanical etchings and her cyanotypes. There's a large collection of her work at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art.
