Bridge Over Canal, Amsterdam
Etching, 1906, Zigrosser 13 (ii/II), edition 30. 5 15/16 x 7 1/2 in. Signed and dated in the plate. Signed in pencil, lower right. This is a superb impression of this lovely, rare work. The paper is a cream Japanese and the margins are full. The condition is excellent. Like Whistler and his Amsterdam etchings, Marin appreciated the uniqueness of every impression and applied the ink in such a dramatic way that no two impressions are exactly the same. We sold a rare first state of this print a couple of years ago and the inking was substantially different than this one. Other impressions are found at Colby College, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.

This is a fine impression printed on a cream paper. The margins are wide and the condition is very good. (There's a small break in the paper where the upper right hinge is found.) This was published in 1924 as one of Six American Etchings offered as a portfolio for the New Republic. It was meant to entice new subscriptions to the weekly magazine.

The margins are diagonally trimmed at the upper left corner and more so in lower left corner. The condition is otherwise fine.
