1930. Limited Edition. Near Fine. Limited Edition. The engraving is delicately framed with the starkness of the barren trees of winter and the two shadowy figures quietly making their way through a fenced pathway in the snow. A tall Russian Orthodox Church with a typical onion dome and bell tower looms in the distance. The landscape gives some semblance of mood and temperature, but also warrants an economic representation of rural to mid-size towns in Russia. Fine print, bright, and in exceptional condition. Intaglio: engraving print, circa early 20th century. Edition: No. 17, printed on rag content paper, deckle edge paper, no visible watermark. Paper size: 7-3/8x3-5/8 in., Plate mark size: 3-5/8x2-1/2 in. The right corner of the image impression bears the mark in assuming Cyrillic: Yvoy [sic?].
