Electric Sign (New York)
Lithograph, 1927, Smith L31, edition unknown. 17 1/8 x 11 1/2 in. Signed on the stone, lower left. Signed in pencil. This is a superb impression of this uncommon print. The margins appear to be full and untrimmed and the condition is fine. (The back of the sheet shows a printed architectual rendering on the Maison aux Champs-Élysées floor plan.) This work is also titled New York Rooftops from Studio. (The Smith catalogue records 109 lithographs with a few fine NYC views and other images of upstate NY landscapes. Figure studies tend to predominate his work in this medium.)
