ROCKWELL KENT
American, (1881-1940)

Wood engraving, 1931, Burne Jones/Rightmire 62; edition 150. 6 1/2 x 7 1/2 in. Signed in pencil. Here we have a fine impression with full margins. The paper bears a partial acorn or floral watermark. There a slight bit of light toning and a paper imperfection in the right edge of the sheet, far away from the image. As it states in the catalogue, "An imperfection in the paper near the left hand of the sailor was found on all copies examined. The area was inked in by hand after printing." This important print was commissioned by the advertising agency Calkins and Holden for their client, the American Car and Foundry Company. The cancelled block is in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.      $7,500
