Description
This etching, from "The Gogo Family" was published by The Frederick J. Quinby Company in Boston who decided to illustrate and publish the writings of French novelist Charles Paul deKock (1794-1871). They hired artist William Glackens to illustrate the series. He in turn hired etchers artists John Sloan, George Luks, Maurice Stern, Louis Meynell, W.S. Potts, Charles White and others.There were a total of 91 etchings done for the planned series that would be printed in a number of "editions" totaling 1000. Sloan contributed 53 etchings, Glackens 14 and the other 25 were done by the rest. 50 volumes were originally planned but only 42 were published. Sloan usually printed these in 3 or 4 states, including on that had a remarque and was often pencil signed. The remarque was removed for the final edition of 1000
