Mat Burn, Glue Stains, Loss

Otto Henry Bacher United States, 1856-1909
Venice, 1880
etching
115 mm x 183 mm
Gift of George and Annette Cross Murphy, 1989.0163 View full record What to Look for: This print was probably glued to a face mat at some time (notice the brush-like glue stains in the border). Part of the print was destroyed when it was removed from the mat (the print having become brittle from the poor quality mat). Mat burn and water stains, as described above, are also clearly visible on this very degraded print.
