Each etching on this page was produced by Louis Icart in limited numbers from his copper plate. His first etching was done in 1911. His most prolific period was 1925-1929. Editions were smaller in the 30's and 40's. He died in 1950. All etchings on this page are pencil-signed by Louis Icart and were produced in limited editions (from 75-500 depending on the etching). The figure numbers are those used in my book: Louis Icart: The Complete Etchings.

                 Before you Buy, Please Read:

Almost all of the etchings that I sell have been cleaned, at a cost of $300-375. They are loose, perfect sheets with excellent color. I assume all of the risk and expense involved in this conservation process. They look very different from the dull and dirty etchings that just came out of grandma's attic and are in better condition than the many “scratch & dent” specials that you find at live and internet auctions.

If the etching comes through the process without problems, then I offer it for sale to my clients. Pieces that do not come out perfectly or that need restoration are consigned to auction or sold to “scratch & dent” dealers.

From my Icart Buyer's Guide: #10. What was the edition size for Icart's etchings?
The edition size is limited to a maximum of about 500 because the copper plate wears each time it is inked. In the years before 1920, before he was popular, he was producing and numbering closed editions of 75-150: (e.g. #1 of 75, #2 of 75...#75 of 75). As his popularity grew, he began producing open editions whose size varied depending on the popularity of the individual etching. The usual number was between 350-500 during the 1920's. When the Great Depression hit, his edition sizes plummeted. Most 1930's and 1940's pieces were done in quantities of only 100-300. There are exceptions to the above generalities and sometimes galleries, for unknown reasons, would pencil in numbers on previously unnumbered pieces. Also, some etchings bear only a single number of a consecutive numbering system. This gave him the flexibility to print, hand-color and pencil-sign only the number that were needed to satisfy public demand (still limited to a maximum of 500). It also led to more confusion as his initial printing may be numbered consecutively and if demand picked up a few months later, the second run may have no numbers at all. The only fact concerning his numbering is that there is no consistency and I would say that about 25% of his etchings have no numbers on them at all. Sometimes a written notation: Ep. d'art appears, which is merely the French abbreviation for "artist's proof". The value of an etching is based on condition, rarity and availability (supply & demand), not the numbers or notations (or lack thereof) written in the margins.
