Excellent, strong impression. One of only 26 signed proofs in the final state, prior to the projected edition of 75 unsigned impressions.
Stop Thief, with its scene of two children pursuing the little dog which has run off with a stolen golliwog, displays all of the freshness and vitality which makes Eileen Alice Soper’s original etchings of children stand apart from the work of other artists.
Provenance: The estate of George and Eileen Soper.
On cream laid paper with full margins and deckle edge. Very fine original condition. |
