"New York" by Irene Reno, Signed & Numbered Series Original Lithographs

New York Par Reno

New York by Reno

A Series of Original Lithographs, Signed and Numbered,
by Irene Reno, c.1935

This is a series of original lithographs by Irene Reno, entitled "New York Par Reno." Created in 1935 and printed by the renowned Gaston Dorfinant of Paris, the series is pencil-signed and numbered, edition #41 of a total of 110 sets.

The collection consists of ten pieces: the original portfolio case, with series title and what may be image #3, The Woolworth Building, and nine matted, framed and signed prints, including the Table of Contents and eight images. Missing is image #1, "Manhattan", and possibly an additional printing of the portfolio cover image, "The Woolworth Building." There is obvious wear and tear to the portfolio; the framed images are intact. (There is some reflection on the glass.) The frames are in excellent to very good condition; most of the backings are intact but there are some tears. The glass seems to be in excellent condition, with no cracks.

The set was a gift to the owner in the 1980's from a friend, astute collector, now deceased.

For anyone who loves New York and rejoices in the sights and sounds and smells of the City as it was in the Art Deco 1920's and 1930's, this is a collection to be treasured.

Price: $5000.
