Comments:
Very good condition. Full original margins. An Associated American Artists print. A fine impression on white Pescia wove paper. Printed in two colors, using an underlying blank mixed color aquatint plate and the etching plate inked with burnt umber. Four pieces of archival matting tape on the reverse along the upper sheet edge, well away from image. Gropper did two sets of etchings for the Associated American Artists, the first in 1965, and the second in 1968. Both Top Man (seen here) and Witness - seen here were done in the second printing which consisted of some fourteen different prints, all done in an edition of one hundred.
