Pencil signed by the artist. Exceedingly rare; only known in several remaining impressions. A truly scarce near flawless example.

While living in Hawai'i, Bartlett would often paint and sell his etchings to travelers at shipping ports, with an option of monochrome or colored versions. As stated by Miles, "The rarely seen etchings can now take their deserved place as Bartlett's collective masterwork".
