About the Item

Wake on the Ferry. 1949. Etching. Morse catalog 313. state v. 5 x 7 (sheet 8 3/4 x 11 7/8). Edition of 350: 200 for the Art Students League and 150 for the artist. A fine impression printed by the etcher, Ernest David Roth, on cream-colored Rives paper with wide margins. Roth used a selective plate tone in the sky to suggest a rainy day. Signed, titled and annotated 'Ernest Roth imp.' by the printer. Signed, titled and annotated '200 proofs' by Sloan in pencil. Housed in a 16 x 20-inch archival mat, suitable for framing. The Brooklyn Bridge frames the illuminated figures in the foreground of the print, though Sloan does not emphasize the architectural structure as much as he does the city dwellers and their stories. Sloan made two oil paintings of the subject; but for the etching, he decided to make "a humorous plate, 'The Wake on the Ferry (Drunken Irish 'Wake')" (quoted by Morse, p. 348.) This is Sloan's last recorded etching. Sloan, came to New York in 1904 and worked for some time as a freelance illustrator. With Robert Henri, he organized an exhibition of a group of urban realist painters, known as "The Eight" or the "Ashcan School," who challenged traditional notions of art. Having moved to the Village in 1912, Sloan lived with his wife Dolly at 240 West 4th Street and at 88 Washington Place.

Kent Hagerman, (US Air Force Fairchild C-119, the 'Flying Boxcar')

By Kent Hagerman

Located in New York, NY

While this is probably a military airport, Kent Hagerman still shows it at its futuristic best. Hagerman was an amazing draftsman who managed to get fantastic detail into his work. This is really a portrait of a plane -- the Fairchild C-119. The words 'United States Air Force' on the side of the plane date it to 1947 or later, after the Air Force split from the Army. The design featured the 'twin boom' clearly showing in this etching. Thanks to this feature it was called the Flying Boxcar. About 1100 were built and used until 1955. It was also used by the Chinese Air...
