Image is 9 x 11 3/4. Edward Timothy Hurley's (1869 - 1950) first etchings were published shortly after the end of the First World War (1918). During the following twenty years his finely decorative etchings and illustrations of Cincinnati led to the publication of no less than seven books upon that city. Most of his original Cincinnati etchings, including this example, were published in small, signed editions of twenty-five impressions. These famous etchings stand as both important historical and artistic expressions of this major American city.
Hurley was a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Crafters Company of Cincinnati and the Richmond Art Association. His etchings are now included in the permanent collections of the Detroit Art Institute, the Art Association of Indianapolis, the Cincinnati Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Chicago Art Institute, the Library of Congress, Washington, DC, and the British Museum, in London.
