Marsh, Reginald. HARLEM DANCER. S.77. Drypoint, 1929 6th state of 6. 6 x 8 inches; 152 x 203 mm. Signed in pencil and numbered "7," and with the original price "15-" partly erased but still visible, and with Sasowski's number "P36" in the lower right corner (a numbering system used by him and Hyatt Mayor in cataloguing Marsh prints between 1954 and 1956). One of only 3 impressions in this state. According to Sasowski there was one trial proof in each of the states, and three additonal prints in State 6, numbered 7,8, and 9. Impression 8 is in the Benton Collection's complete set of Marsh's prints and impression 9 is in the collection of the New York Public Library, so that impression 7 is the only one of the three signed final proofs not in an institutional collection. A beautifully printed impression with rich burr. Very rare.
