"William T Sherman Monument, 5th Ave., NY" by Rudolph Ruzicka, Amer., (1883-1978) Wood Engraving 15-16 1933 in the plateEtching & Aquatint, no date, ed. unknown, 7 x 4 1 2, signed in pencil, on thin cream laid paper. An unusual medium for Ruzicka, who chose to etch an evening view of this famous St. Gaudens 5th Ave. landmark with it's gilded bronze glistening in the dark. I have seen no other aquatint by the artist.
