189: ERIC SLOANE (1905-1985) PEN AND INK SKETCH ON PAPER

Eric Sloane (1905-1985)
Market Bridge Connecticut (1975-80)
The work of pen and ink on paper is signed lower left front and estate stamped verso.

Accurately documenting the hand hewn covered bridges of New England was a trademark of Eric Sloane. It was obviously not unrelated to his fascination with early American tools, architecture, and New England's old growth forests - of which he taught himself much, and wrote about in many of the more than thirty books he authored.
Image measures 10 x 15 with a framed size of 19.75 x 23.75 inches.
Apparently the condition is very good, very clean, intact, no visible stain, damage, repair, punctures or tears. This work has not been examined outside the frame.
Provenance: Purchased from Michael Wigley Galleries Ltd. Santa Fe, New Mexico.
