By James McBey
Located in Storrs, CT
A Regatta on the Grand Canal. 1930. Drypoint. Hardie/Carter 248. 8 7/8 x 15 3/8 sSheet 13 3/16 x 19 3/8). Edition 80, #5. A fine impression on cream-colored wove paper with full margins. Signed and numbered in ink. Housed in an 18 x20-inch archival mat.

He moved to London to prepare for a one-man show at Goupil's Gallery, and shortly after this highly successful first show, he traveled to Morocco with James Kerr Lawson...
