This original etchng is printed upon fine china paper and pressed onto a large sheet of wove paper as published by Dana Estes and Charles E. Lauriat, Boston for "The American Art Review" in the limited edition of five hundred impressions in 1881. It is signed and dated in the plate by Charles Platt. |

Note: | Charles Adams Platt: A painter, architect, etcher and writer, Charles Adams Platt quickly became one of America's most highly regarded landscape artists during the late nineteenth century. He first studied art at the National Academy of Design and at the Art Students League of New York before finishing his formal training under Boulanger and Lefebvre, in Paris. During his successful career Platt received many awards, including the bronze medal from the Paris Exposition of 1900. He was a full member of the Society of American Artists (1888), the National Academy of Design (Associate, 1897: Academician, 1911), the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Institute of Architects, the New York Etching Club and the London Society of Painter-Etchers. |
Charles Adams Platt was taught etching by his friend and fellow artist, Stephen Parrish, in 1880. Parrish (1846-1938) lived in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and thus many of Charles Adams Platt's initial etchings dealt with scenes from this locality. From 1880 through 1890, Charles Adams Platt devoted himself almost exclusively to the art of etching and produced over one hundred works of art in this medium. | |
Even in his earliest etchings, Charles Adams Platt proved himself a most innovative and accomplished artist. In Old Boat House, Gloucester, for example, he employed deeply bitten lines with plate tone to achieve a striking effect. It is a work of art worthy of one of America's greatest nineteenth century etchers. | |
The American Art Review. A Journal Devoted to the Practical theory, History, and Archaeology of Art: Inspired by the European etched art of James McNeill Whistler, Charles Meryon, Sir Francis Seymour Haden and others, a large number of American artists became seriously interested in the art of etching by 1875. A primary catalyst to the etching revival in America was the journal, American Art Review (1879-1881). Founded and edited by Sylvester Rosa Koehler it commissioned American artists for original etchings. Contributing etchers included such famous artists as Thomas Moran, Peter Moran, Otto Bacher, Stephen Parrish, Henry Farrer, Eliza Greatorex, Charles Adams Platt and William Merritt Chase. Each etching published by Dana Estes and Charles E. Lauriat, Boston for The American Art Review was printed in a limited edition of 500 impressions on fine china paper which was then pressed onto a larger sheet of white wove paper. | |
Due mostly to its lavish production costs the journal lasted only slightly over two years. The finely printed etchings it produced, however, served as a cornerstone for the many great American etchings of the early twentieth century. | |
Edition: | Each etching published by Dana Estes and Charles E. Lauriat, Boston for "The American Art Review" was printed in a limited edition of 500 impressions on fine china paper which was then pressed onto a larger sheet of white wove paper. |
