IRVING PLACE BURLESQUE

Marsh, Reginald. IRVING PLACE BURLESQUE. S.101. Etching, 1930. State viii/viii (Final). 25 lifetime impressions in this state (Jones printed 7 posthumous impressions at the request of Felicia Marsh, and the Whitney Museum printed 100 impressions from the plate donated to it by the estate). Signed in pencil by Marsh. One of a very few, or possibly a unique, hand-colored impression of this scarce print. In very good condition, framed. This impression came from the estate of Leonard Golditch, a NYC attorney who was a friend of Marsh and who owned paintings, watercolors and prints by Marsh. According to information obtained from the Golditch estate, he sometimes asked artsits to hand-color prints for him, and in his collection there were hand-colored prints by Soyer, Lozowick and Mark Freeman in addition to this example. It is also known that Marsh sometimes colored prints; examples of such prints are in both the Metropolitan Museum and the Whitney Museum in NYC, as well as in our own inventory (10th Street Jungle).
