Reginald Marsh (American, 1898 - 1984) "Smokehounds" - 1935 Etching. Pencil signed and numbered (State IX - 9/13) lower margin. Image Size: 11.75 x 8.75 in. Overall Framed Size: 22.5 x 19.5 in. Framed behind glass. Marsh made a single trial proof of each of the eight states prior the definitive ninth state, but the design was complete in the first state. He successively added small changes in the successive states after the first; in the ninth he added shading lines in the lower left part of the girder at the left, and some additional shading to the left of the man standing at the far left. In his notes he mentioned that two of the prints among the thirteen he printed in the ninth state were ?defective?, so the actual number of prints in the ?edition? was surely fewer than 13. A painting by the artist of the same subject is in the permanent collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.; a drawing of the subject is in the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard.
