George Bellows

Lithograph, 1916, signed in pencil and titled, on simili-Japan paper, with wide margins, in good condition apart from pale scattered foxing, remains of adhesive in three places at the upper sheet edge recto and verso, pale light- and time stain, framed

The print is in good condition as catalogued. Pale scattered fox marks are visible in the unprinted areas of the image and more prominently in the margins. The print was previously hinged using brown tape at the upper sheet edge at left, right and center and adhesive remains are still visible on the verso and recto. There is a printer's crease in the right margin and the paper is separating at the lower right sheet corner; both are inherent in the characteristics of the paper. Pale light- and time stain at the sheet edges are also apparent. There is a shallow loss at the lower left sheet corner.
