Roofs, Summer Night. 1906. Etching. Morse 137.ii. 5 1/4 x 7 (sheet 9 1/2 x 12 1/8). Series: New York City Life, plate 9.. A fine impression on cream laid paper on the full sheet with deckle edges. Annotated 'Peter Platt imp.' by the printer. Signed, titled and annotated "100 proofs" by Sloan in pencil.
Sloan wrote about this print: "I have always liked to watch the people in the summer, especially the way they live on the roofs. For many years I have not seen the summer life of the city, which has perhaps been better for my health than my production of city life etchings." Morse at page 148.
A large selection of Sloan etchings is available on the Allinson Gallery, Inc. website.
