154: DOEL REED (1895-1985) VERY RARE AQUATINT ETCHING

Doel Reed (1895-1985)
Chinaberry Trees (1948)
The rich, velvety aquatint etching is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right and titled lower left; numbered 13 from an edition of only 25 prints,

No record of this very rare print at auction, in museum collections or dealer inventories could be found. This print is apparently quite rare and obviously very desirable.
Image measures 10.25 x 16.5 with a framed size of 19.5 x 25.5 inches.
Very good condition, the full untrimmed sheet with deckle edges, not laid down, no damage, punctures, tears or repair, toning in the margins as shown in the online images, framed to archival standards in acid free mounts.
Provenance: Private Rossville, Kansas collection spanning two generations.
$1,000 - $1,500
