Wonderful!
Etching in Color
Original Signed Artist's Print!
by LOUIS DAUPHIN
Louis-Etienne Dauphin (1885-1926)
The following is the information on the back of this beautiful print:
"Published in Paris, France, at a Limited Edition.
Proof taken from the etched plate on which inking and painting are hand made.
These operations being repeated for each proof.
The plate destroyed at the end of the limited edition".
The paper on the back is very old and very fragile. Some of the paper is missing where the title is given. It reads, "..CKHEIM .LSACE MOONLIGHT".
This is "TURCKHEIM ALSACE MOONLIGHT". Turckheim is a town of the Alsace region in France. Turckheim is the only town in the Alsace region that is surrounded by a medieval wall that has 3 gates. I believe this etching is one of those gates.
On the front of the picture it has the number "125.500" left of the signature. The signature appears to be original in pencil. There are faint watermarks on the paper.
Print is framed in a vintage, wood frame that measures 9 1/2" x 12 1/2".
Please review the pictures and send any questions before bidding. Thanks!
