#RP-4 - "Roach, et al" by Sherman F. Denton - 1902 Chromolithograph print - 9" x 12", framed - $45.00 This true-to-life chromolithograph print was part of a set published in 1902. Denton was a principal artist to the New York State Forest, Fish and Game Commission. A master of the art, his prints are becoming more and more scarce, and are avidly sought-after! The 4 fish are Roach, River Chub, Common Silverside and the Blunt Nosed Minnow. All are delicately colored, as with all chromolithographs, by successive applications of carefully registered stones, each applying its specific color... black, grey, blue, yellow and pink... each standing alone here, or blending with another there, to form the subtle shade differences that help to identify the unique tints of each species as they looked in life! The print resides behind glass in a good quality gilded frame. The print is in VeryGood+ condition, with a small pressure bend, near the mid-right edge of the frame, that was stopped before it became a crease. This is only visible upon close inspection with oblique light Otherwise the print is crisp, clean, bright and without any other fault. The frame is in NearFine condition, with little sign of wear... ready to hang!
