POINT PLEASANT
Etching by LIONEL BARRYMORE
Reproduced in TALIO-CROME
When,
in 1938, five old etchings bearing the signature of Lionel Barrymore
were found in an old print shop, they were recognized as an
exceptionally important discovery. Only intimate friends of the great
actor knew that he had once aspired to fame as an artist. During a long
acting career, the profession of his famous family, he achieved
world-wide renown on stage, screen and over the air, but art was his
relaxation.
Though
it was known that Mr. Barrymore had made several other plates, their
whereabouts remained a mystery until 1952 when several more prints were
found in an old trunk. So far as can be determined no more etchings by
Lionel Barrymore will come to light because of wide demand for the
earlier prints, Mr. Barrymore was persuaded to allow reproduction of
those more recently discovered and chose the exclusive Talio-Crome
process as the only medium to reproduce all the fine details of the
originals.
"Point
Pleasant", outstanding among the few plates by Mr. Barrymore, is
characteristic of the quiet little seaport scenes he liked to portray.
It may be framed to best advantage in a narrow natural or blond wood
moulding with a black line.
