Drypoint on wove paper, 1927.
Reference: McCarron 62. Second state of two, after crosshatching and contrasting elements were added throughout the plate.
Total recorded edition of 104 impressions in both states combined.
Signed in pencil.

In this second state, the light which is already contrasted and atmospherically rendering the fog in the background in the first state, is accentuated even further and depicted with moody precision.
The theatricality of this composition is Martin Lewis' New York at its best.
