DESCRIPTION:
|
Reference:Morse 152, state 5 (of 5). In very good condition (minor toning in the margins well away from image).
A fine, rich impression, on cream wove paper, with full margins (2 1/4 to 2 7/8 inches).
The tack holes near the margin edges of this impression indicate that it was printed by Peter Platt, one of Sloan's favorite printers; Platt impressions are coveted by Sloan collectors since they are invariably masterfully printed - fine, rich, and black.
Years later Sloan wrote of Night Windows: "While his faithful wife is doing the wash downstairs my neighbor casts a roving eye across the areaway. A commonplace or even vulgar incident may produce a work of art."
