Emil Orlik: Strasse in Kairo - North African Town Scene
etching with soft-ground printed in brownish-black, 1912 Plate/Image Size: 24.7 x 17 cm - (9¾ x 6¾ inches) Sheet Size: 40 x 30 cm - (15¾ x 11¾ inches) signed in pencil
a beautiful, well nuanced impression of this very scarce etching, drawn during Orlik's 1912 travels in North Africa; it was not included in the portfolio Aus Ægypten and thus is assumed to be one of only a few proofs on firm wove paper with full wide margins in perfect condition
