A very fine original drypoint etching by American Sporting Artist Frank Benson. The title of this work is "The Guide", it was created and printed in 1920 in an edition of 150.
Wonderful use of plate tone in printing of this image. The image measures 6 7/8X10 7/8 inches, printed on a soft Hodamura paper. There are two pressure creases in the lower corners of the image, probably occuring during the printing process but they are unobtrusive and only show up in a raking light. The etching is hand signed by the artist in the lower left border. The image shows the hunters guide leading the way through the shallow water.
