| Note: |
Frank L. Kirkpartick: A fine American painter, watercolourist
and etcher, Frank L. Kirkpartick was equally adept at both landscape depictions
and portraits. Kirkpatrick's strong knowledge of the tonal ranges of colours
made him a worthy candidate as one of the first (if not the first) Americans
to practice the art of etchings printed in colours. Briefly, a separate
plate was etched for the introduction of each colour and thus the artist
required great skills to register each plate perfectly. Kirkpatrick began
his experiments in this demanding medium at about this time. Apart from
the obvious beauty of this work of art, it therefore stands as an important
example of the early American colour etching. |
| |
During the final years of his life, Kirkpatrick turned almost
solely to watercolours. His work was exhibited on a regular basis at the
Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, until his death in 1917. |
| Note: |
George Barrie: From 1893 to 1895 the Philadelphia
printer and publisher, George Barrie, was at work upon a large and lavish
series of original etchings and chromolithographs detailing exhibits of
the fine art from participating countries at the World's Columbian Exposition.
The original prints, such as this fine example, were printed on either
China or Japon papers and were limited to an edition of only two hundred
impressions. Barrie hired some of the finest etchers of the time (the
majority being either French or American) to work on the series. |
| |
Today these original etchings and lithographs are collected
not only for their important 1890's style but for their superb technical
accomplishments. Impressions from these limited editions are as finely
printed as one can find. |
| Edition: |
Limited edition of two hundred impressions. |
