MCM 40s Etching SAN FRANCISCO STREET SCENE Pencil Signed LISTED ARTIST Melnicoe

Description: Here we have an original 1942 etching pencil-titled lower left "Street Scene #18" and pencil-signed lower right by listed female artist, Ruth C. Melnicoe (1897-1959 American.) On other copies of this etching, Melnicoe specified in the title that the street scene is in San Francisco. Looks like she may have included a self-portrait in this scene, too. Melnicoe was born in Chicago, Illinois, but most of her work is associated with the West Coast, especially the Bay Area, and in particular, with San Francisco. Unframed. Image alone, not including pencil-signed and other margins, is roughly 3.75" x 4.5". Additional last few photos provided for informational purposes only -- pieces shown in photos are not included, and information in those photos do not concern the actual work being offered in this listing. We have many more of Melnicoe's works in our store, to which we add new inventory daily, and we're always happy to combine shipping at actual cost. If the eBay checkout fails to properly combine your orders, we will issue a refund for the difference between what you paid to ship items separately and the actual cost of the combined shipping, on the day that we ship your package. (We don't find out the actual cost of combined shipping until we purchase the shipping label.) Condition: Our photographs reveal the condition best -- please enlarge and zoom in on them, and examine them carefully. You'll never find anything sticky, growing or otherwise gross on our ephemera, nor will you ever encounter anything with funky odors. This piece is remarkably fresh and clean, despite its age, with excellent contrast. Lies nice and flat. Light surface, edge, and corner to the surrounding paper, which may include -- and if included, is shown in the photos -- matting tape remnants, mat burn, toning and/or foxing. Rest assured that we will do all we can to ensure that your unframed artwork arrives exactly as presented in our photos. We invest time and appropriate materials into shipping all of our ephemera, and we provide tracking on all shipments. All pieces are sent in rigid mailers or envelopes that are sandwiched between cardboard before being sent as first-class parcels in non-bendable mailers, which ship at rates much higher than first-class letters. We never toss our ephemera into thin stationery envelopes with forever stamps stuck to them expecting the USPS to deliver them to you with great care. And we ship everything fully insured. We consider funky odors (cigarette smoke, mildew, etc) to be an important part of a condition report. Corndogcache is a 100% non-smoking environment, and we'll let you know if any of our vintage items smell like it (or anything else) from activities they may have been involved in before they came to us.The Fine Print:We expect payment within 1 day of purchase.
