Signed "Geo. Bellows, J. B. B." by the artist's daughter, Jean Bellows Booth, and inscribed "No. 40" in pencil, lower margin. A superb, well-inked and proof-like impression with strong contrasts. According to Bellows, the scene is "under the elevated, lower east side in mid-summer." Bellows' idea for this lithograph dates back to preliminary drawings executed in 1913-14.
