Sloan, Romany Marye's

Romany Marye's in Christopher Street

Etching, 1936, 152 x 205 mm, Morse 278 vii/vii. A very fine impression on laid paper with full margins, annotated, titled and signed in pencil from the projcted edition of 100 (only 52 were actually printed). The margins also carry the notation "Chas. White imp." White was one of several people who printed for Sloan and such printings are always part of the edition; in this case, according to Morse, all 52 impressions of the edition were printed by White. The image shows the interior of an old tea parlor in Greenwich Village and its patrons. John Sloan himself is at the lower right corner of the plate, at table with his second wife Dolly and Romany Marye herself.
