Albert R. Thayer, Boston & Harbor 1820, Vintage Etching, Pencil Signed

Description: This vintage etching titled "Boston and Boston Harbor 1820" by American artist Albert R. Thayer (1878-1965) is a beautiful representation of the coastal community. It features a variety of watercraft with the Boston skyline in the background. The title and artist's signature are in pencil. Thayer was a popular painter, etcher, and teacher known for his depictions of New England architecture and the landscape. His works were frequently displayed in galleries and exhibitions in the United States. This etching appears to be inspired by William James Bennet's (1787-1844) "Boston, from City Point near Sea Street," a serene depiction of the harbor with soft lines and aquatint colors. Thayer reinterpreted the original image with bold lines, which resulted in a frenetic sky over a still harbor. The paper measures 9.38 inches in length and 7.18 inches in height. It's in good condition with an unfinished right edge. It comes unframed.
