Original Etching, Mounted On Larger Sheet, With Small Chips And Edge Tears To The Larger Sheet, Print And Signature Are Fine. Signed In Pencil By John Sloan. Illustration For Paul De Kock's Novel 'Cherami', Vol. 2. Copyright By The Frederick J. Quinby Company (Boston). From 1902 To 1905, American Artist John Sloan (1871?1951) Created 53 Etchings To Illustrate Novels By French Author Charles Paul De Kock (1793?1871), Whose Satires Of Early 19Th-Century Parisian Society Were Popular In The United States Around The Turn Of The Century. While Sloan Is Best Known For His Gritty Depictions Of Life In The Streets, Taverns, And Tenements Of New York City, The De Kock Commission Gave Him The Opportunity To Refine His Etching Technique And Hone His Ability To Convey Anecdotal Incidents With Wry Humor.
