拍品專文

Including: Peggy Bacon, The Promenade Deck; Ernest Haskell, Sentinels of North Creek; Edward Hopper, Night Shadows ( Levin 82; Zigrosser 22); John Marin, Downtown, the El (Zigrosser 134); Hayes Miller, Play; John Sloan, Bandits Cave (Morse 195)

The complete set of six etchings, as issued in 1924, contained Marin’s rare Brooklyn Bridge No. 6 (Swaying), which appeared in only a few sets before being substituted by Marin’s Downtown the El (Zigrosser 134). (The original cover specified the Brooklyn Bridge, but in subsequent covers this was crossed out in ink and replaced by the words “Downtown Manhattan.”)

The New Republic offered readers a set of six original signed etchings along with the purchase of a subscription to the magazine. The original offering, in an advertisement in the Saturday Review of Literature (December 6, 1924, p. 350), reads in part:

“The difficulty with this offer is not to explain, but to refrain…Yet overstatement is almost difficult in face of the facts—the foremost of which (alone simply sufficient to testify to the quality of these etchings) is the names of the six artists themselves.”

A subscription form was then appended, offering readers a year’s subscription to the New Republic, with the set, for $8 (or two years for $12; the New Republic alone was $5 a year).
