Artwork Description:

Please note that this etching is shipped to the buyer without a frame or mat. This keeps the price low and allows the collector a range of choice in framing. For shipment, a sturdy cardboard box is employed. The etching is first wrapped in two layers of acid free glassine and then placed between two archival boards. This is next placed into the shipping box and securely packed with bubble wrap. Handling, packing materials, strong packing tape, and shipment carton are included in the price. However the price does not include shipment costs. The title is A PARADE ON BROADWAY IN 1955, CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY, or THE LAST EDITIONS GHOSTS. This artwork is from a series of several different etchings entitled THE CAMDEN STORIES. The print is inspired by a family photo taken in 1955. ETCHING techniques include Intaglio, drypoint, Chine colle, and aquatint. Executed in a blend of colored oil-based etching inks on RivesBFK white paper. This is the Last of Three Editions, and each edition has Ten prints. First edition is done in Black ink on white paper 2013 Second edition is done in red and blue inks on white paper without Chine colle. This EDITION is done in colored inks with yellow mulberry bark paper. What makes this etching unique, aside from the blending of inks directly on the plates, involves my use of three separate zinc plates lined horizontally together on the printing press to create one image. As in all of my etchings, several workings of each plate takes place in combination with an acid bath. Each plate used to produce this singular multiple image measures four inches high by three inches wide. The artwork size is 8 inches high by 14 inches wide.
