HARRIS SCHRANK FINE PRINTS

Peggy Bacon (1895-1987), Custard (also known as Lunch No. 4 – Custard), lithograph, signed in pencil lower right and titled (Custard for Lunch?). Reference: Flint 77, only state. In pristine condition, printed on a cream wove paper, the full sheet with deckle edges, 11 1/2 x 15 7/8, the sheet 13 3/4 x 18.
A fine fresh and rich impression.
Custard is very clean, striking, and straightforward. But one senses that in the end Bacon succumbed to the ever-present temptation, at this stage in her career, of injecting some humor in each composition, so we have a tiny anthropomorphic caterpillar on a [...]

Peggy Bacon drypoint The Bridge Party, signed, dated (Nov. 1918) and titled (Bridge) in pencil by the artist. Flint 3. In generally ok but rough condition as befits an early working proof  pulled by Bacon herself, with diagonal folds upper and lower right, with margins (1/2 inch top and sides, 1 inch bottom, pencil mark right margin.  4 1/8 x 5 inches, archival mounting.
A very fine impression of this rarity (we’ve seen only one other impression in 30 years). In this early impression, the burr from the drypoint work creates a brilliant satiny black.

Peggy Bacon (1895-1987), Virtuoso, 1933, signed and titled in pencil and inscribed: “For Pat and Dick.” Reference: Flint 121. In good condition, on cream wove paper with a deckle edge all around and so with full margins, with drying holes all around (indicating that this was printed by Bacon’s favorite master printer Peter Platt). 5 x 4, the sheet 12 5/8 x 9 3/4 inches, matted.
A fine rich impression, with much drypoint burr.
A rarely encountered print, we have not located an impression of Viruoso in the extensive collections of Bacon’s work in the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, or the [...]
