What a great old "Canada goose" drypoint etching from 1917.
*This is one of only 25 printed by famed artist Frank Weston Benson, & this is #15 out of only 25 ever done by this exceptional artist Frank W Benson.
*The actual etching itself is 4.5" Tall x 5.5" Long/Wide.
*It currently is not framed, but you yourself can actually choose how you want to frame this!
*To note: this etching does have some water damage, foxing, and yellowing due to age--after all it was done in 1917--Please refer to all the photos for details of this truly exceptional historic piece!
*I acquired this etching in the 1970's, before computers were readily available for sale of these prized works of art.
*This is exactly how I found & purchased it back then, and I have kept it in storage for safety all these years.
*I have recently had this exceptional artwork available for appraisal & evaluation.
*Look over all the photos--enlarge, enhance, magnify them--to judge for yourself the quality & uniqueness of this historic piece of etching artwork by famed artist Frank W Benson and how it should not be missed!
(*FYI: Drypoint etching involves scratching the image directly onto the plate with a sharp needle, creating a softer, more velvety line. Regular etching uses acid to bite into the metal plate, resulting in a more defined line. Many of Benson's works were in drypoint.)
