"California Coast Near Carmel"
1929, Etching and Watercolor.
Edition: Not stated, perhaps 100, numbered 94, lower left - possibly unique in this hand colored form. Signed and dated in pencil, Wm C. Ostrander '29; lower right; edition number and title, 94 California Coast Near Carmel, lower left. Image: 6 7/8 x 7 7/8 inches (174 x 200 mm). Sheet: 9 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches (241 x 266 mm). Excellent condition. Narrow but adequate margins. Printed on parchment like buff wove paper. William Cheesbrough Ostrander spent a few years in California, roughly 1928 to 1932, during that time he made several fine etchings of California missions and landscapes (see Lone Cypress Point, Cal. below). This print has been beautifully hand colored by the artist. $550.00 |

"Desert Waste" 1929, Etching. Edition: Not stated. Signed in pencil, lower right, Wm Ostrander; titled, Desert Waste, lower left. Image: 6 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches (158 x 209 mm). Sheet: 10 1/4 x 11 3/8 inches (260 x 288 mm). Excellent condition. Good margins. Printed on parchment like buff wove paper. Appears to have never been either matted or framed. Although this particular impression is not dated, I have seen another clearly dated 1929. Information obtained from the artist's grandson indicates that this print appears to be the product of a trip through Arizona, circa 1928. Ostrander and his wife evidently drove through Arizona on a trip from Massachusetts with intentions to resettle in California. Ostrander stayed in California for only a few years. With the onset of the Depression and possible financial difficulties he was forced to return east by steamer via the Panama Canal. $375.00 |
