About the Item

Entitled "Off the Lakeshore Drive, Chicago", this circa 1937 etching on paper lake and cityscape scene is signed and titled by the artist Leon Rene Pescheret at the bottom. An illustrator, watercolorist, etcher, and architect, Leon Rene Pescheret (1892-1971) was born in Chiswick, England in 1892. He began his studies at the Royal College of Engraving in Kensington under Malcolm Osborne, and the Battersea Polytechnic in London. He moved to the United States in the 1920s, attending the Art Institute of Chicago under Albert Fleury, and eventually opening a studio in Whitewater, Wisconsin. Pescheret also spent some time studying abroad, learning the art of one-plate color etching under the tutelage of Roger Hebbelnic in Belgium before returning to the States. At that time he was believed to be the only etcher in the United States using that method. Pescheret authored several books including "An Introduction to Color Etching" and "Principle and Practice of Interior Decorating". He also illustrated "The Spirit of Vienna" and "Chicago Welcomes You," as well as contributing works to American Artist and Arizona Highways magazines. Due to his extensive travels that took him from Europe to the continental U.S. to Hawaii, Pescheret's subject matter was broad, encompassing not only land and cityscapes but nautical scenes, as well. His studies in architecture and design helped garner commissions as an interior designer and decorative artist for such places as the Drake Hotel in Chicago, The University of Wisconsin, the Peoria Country Club, and the Memorial Union Building in Chicago. His works are held in numerous private and public collections throughout the United States and the U.K., including the British Museum; the Cabinet du Roi and the Cabinet des Estampesin Brussels; the National Collection of Fine Arts in Washington, D.C., the Library of Congress; and many more. He died in Arizona in 1971. Excellent vintage condition. Framed in a restored vintage wood frame with a painted gold finish using 8-ply archival matting behind conservation clear glass.
