The same deft skill and perceptive eye whch had graced Roth's etchings of Venice and other European subjects earlier in the century were turned upon New York City's changing skyline in a series of late monumental views

the innovative technique pioneered by Hayter and carried to new heights by Reddy

"William T Sherman Monument, 5th Ave., NY" by Rudolph Ruzicka, Amer., (1883-1978) Wood Engraving two tiny clear glue spotsEtching & 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.
