DESCRIPTION:  McCarron 131. Edition 105. In good condition.

A fine impression, on ivory/cream laid paper, with full/wide margins.

Commissioned by the Society of American Etchers, Brooklyn.

McCarron notes: “This is one of Lewis’s most complex plates, one in which he was able to harmonize many diverse elements.” The print is replete with commercial and social references – one magazine hanging in the window is called “G-Man”, the other “True Love.” In the far background left we can see another "chance meeting."
