Comments:
Excellent condition. Good margins, as issued. Very clean and appears to have never been matted. Printed with sanguine ink on ivory wove paper, watermarked "FRANCE." A fine portrait of Thomas Maitland Cleland for the frontispiece of the book "The Decorative Work of T. M. Cleland" (Hamill 1929). Cleland was a well-known book designer and illustrator and did some designing of type faces. Quoting from the catalogue raisonné by Jones (1975): "Thirteen hundred proofs printed, one hundred for the artist and twelve hundred for Alfred E. Hamill's The Decorative Work of T. M. Cleland (1929). The first fifty-five copies of the book were printed as a deluxe edition, and the lithographs in these were signed by Kent. The image was cancelled and the stone reground by the printer, George Miller." This is one of the one hundred prints "for the artist." Kent probably accepted the prints in lieu of direct financial compensation.
