Marsh, Reginald: IRVING PLACE BURLESQUE,

Marsh, Reginald. IRVING PLACE BURLESQUE. S.101. Etching, 1930. State viii/viii (Final). 25 lifetime impressions in this state (Jones printed 7 posthumous impressions at the request of Felicia Marsh, and the Whitney Museum printed 100 impressions from the plate donated to it by the estate). Signed in pencil by Marsh. One of a very view, or possibly a unique, hand-colored impression of this scarce print. In very good condition, framed. This impression came from the estate of Leonard Golditch, a NYC attorney who was a friend of Marsh and who owned paintings, watercolors and prints by Marsh. According to information obtained from the Golditch estate, he sometimes asked artsits to hand- color prints for him, and in his collection there were hand-colored prints by Soyer, Lozowick and Mark Freeman in addition to this example. It is also known that Marsh sometimes colored prints; examples of such prints are in both the Metropolitan Museum and the Whitney Museum in NYC, as well as in our own inventory (10th Street Jungle).

Frelinghuysen, Alice Cooney: LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM, HNA Books 1999
ISBN: 0-8109-6535-6 As New Condition

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) was one of America's preeminent masters of the decorative arts. Although he is best known for his prodigious achievements in glass, especially for his vibrantly colored windows and lamps, Tiffany excelled in a wide range of media - mosaics, enamels, metalwork, ceramics, and jewelry - all handsomely represented in this publication by pieces from the Metropolitan Museum's outstanding collection of Tiffany works. Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, curator of American decorative arts at the Metropolitan Museum, presents Tiffany's works in the context of his career, discusses his artistic themes and his devotion to nature, and sheds new light on his technical virtuosity. She has illustrated her text with many of Tiffany's water-color presentation drawings selected from the more than 400 in the Museum's collections. Many of these drawings, made by Tiffany and his artists over a period of forty years, are reproduced here for the first time.
