IN FRONT OF THE 42ND STREET LIBRARY
Catalog. Teller 3. Etching, 1927. The image measures 4 x 3 inches; 100 x 75 mm. Signed in pencil.

Isabel Bishop was one of New York City’s leading printmakers from the late 1930’s to the 1960’s. Bishop both studied at, and taught at, the Art Students League in New York and made her home and studio in the heart of the bustling urban scene. The work of Isabel Bishop focuses entirely on the depiction of figures.
