Lot Report

Literature:

Gerald Stevens, Frederick Simpson Coburn, Toronto, 1958, page 42 and page 43, plate 6, illustrated.
Evelyn Lloyd Coburn, F.S. Coburn, Beyond the Landscape, Toronto, 1996, page 81, illustrated in colour.

Note:

Stevens writes that an etching by Coburn is truly a collector’s item, as the copper plates were used less than a dozen times before being discarded.
