James Craig Nicoll - Building an Elevator

Building an Elevator

James Craig Nicoll's "Building an Elevator" is an original etching with plate tone printed upon fine nineteenth century laid paper and with full margins as printed by G. W. H. Ritchie in New York. It is signed and dated by the artist in the plate to the lower left. "Building an Elevator" is a fine, original example of the 19th century marine art created by this American artist. As one can see, atmospheric effects, most particularly those of reflected light and shade, are paramount in James Craig Nicoll's art.

Note: James Craig Nicoll: A prominent nineteenth century American marine painter and etcher, James Craig Nicoll both studied under and worked with Maurice F. H. de Haas. James Craig Nicoll first exhibited his art at the prestigious National Academy of Design in 1868. He was later elected an associate there in 1880 and a full academician in 1885. J. C.
