Framed aquatint etching on paper, "Santa Catarina," signed lower right Charles M. Capps (Charles Merrick (Chili/Chile) Capps, Kansas/ Illinois, 1898-1981), titled and numbered 41/ 60 lower left, mat resting on cardstock board inscribed "Santa Catarina, Aquatint, $35.00," sight: approx 9.5"h, 11 1/8"w, overall: approx 16.25"h, 17.75"w, 3.75lbs 

CR 5.15.25- I note that the sheet is intact, with some overall toning commensurate with age. It is affixed to the mat via two strips of old masking tape along the top upper border, which are brittle and yellowed due to age. I did not attempt to remove the tape from the sheet for fear of damaging the top edge of the paper, though this could likely be done with help from a paper conservator. The sheet is not affixed to the mat anywhere else. As noted in the catalog description, the mat itself rests on a cardstock board which is inscribed "Santa Catarina $35.00" with what appears to be an additional signature by the artist, which has been partially obliterated.
