The British Museum offers the following
description of this print:
“Boats moored by quay with tide out, street of
houses beyond. 1902 Etching on copper” (https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1949-0411-4649).
Condition: a strong and well-printed
impression with wide margins in excellent condition with no tears, holes,
folds, abrasions, significant stains or foxing.
I am selling this superb etched masterwork showing
a panoramic sweep of the port at Boulogne-sur-Mer—a coastal city in Northern
France—as seen at the beginning of the 20th century when the tide
has retreated, for the total cost of AU$288 (currently US$211.99/EUR183.01/GBP156.36
at the time of this listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in the
world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
If you are interested in purchasing this sensitively
executed etching—note that the print has been inked very subtly so that the
foreground is printed in a darker tone of ink than the distance—please contact
me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to
make the payment easy.
