Description
"View of Paris" is a color etching done by Taos, New Mexico modernist Earl Stroh while he was in Paris while studying printmaking with Johnny Friedlaender at his atelier. Stroh was in Paris on a grant from art patroness Helene Wurlitzer, who lived in Taos, New Mexico.
Stroh printed a small group of proofs of these etchings, intending to edition them back in Taos. Something apparently happened on the ship when he was returning to the US and he lost his records and plates. Because of this incident the edition sizes, though small, are unknown.
