ORIGINAL YNGVE EDWARD SODERBERG (1896-1971) 'SAILING OFF LATIMER REEF LIGHT' LONG ISLAND SOUND ETCHING SIGNED EDITION OF 25 This is really a wonderful piece. I have sold quite a few Soderbergs over the last couple of years, but I think this might be the rarest of all the ones I have come across. Most of Soderberg's etchings were done in editions of 100 or 85. This one is notated in pencil "Ed 25" below the image to the right of where it is signed in pencil. A great image of a sailboat going around Latimer Reef Light in Fisher Island sound off of Long Island. The trademark stripe around the center of the spark plug lighthouse. Image measures 11 3/4 x 9 inches and is in excellent condition. A deep dark impression. The original matte shows matte burn to the margins where it is along the outer edges. Print shows some rippling as it is not laid down. Matte shows some soil spots and the original gold frame is complimentary and ready to hang. Frame measures 19 1/4 x 15 1/2 inches. For those not familiar with Soderberg his biography reads " Born in Chicago, Illinois, Yngve Edward Soderberg was an American watercolorist, etcher, and printmaker. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. He was a WPA muralist whose work can be seen at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut
