American artist Hassam (1859–1935), remembered mainly as an Impressionist, turned from painting to printmaking late in his career. The 94 representative etchings, drypoints, and lithographs in this handsome collection display the genteel urban middle class (primarily New York City), New England waterfronts and harbors, and the artist's Long Island summer retreat.

Access to over 1.5 million titles for a fair monthly price.
The Clayton numbers of the etchings and drypoints are those assigned by Paula Eliasoph in her Handbook of the Complete Set of Etchings and Drypoints . . . of Childe Hassam, published by The Leonard Clayton Gallery, New York, 1933 (these numbers are also known as Eliasoph numbers). The Griffith numbers of the lithographs are those of Fuller Griffith, The Lithographs of Childe Hassam: a catalog, Smithsonian Institution, United States National Museum, Bulletin 232, Washington, D.C., 1962. The print titles given here are the same as those in the respective catalogues; thus, the spelling “Easthampton” for East Hampton, Long Island, is retained in the titles. In the dimensions, height precedes width; the size is that of the image.
