Dwight Case Sturges earned his living as a newspaper artist. Working at the Boston Globe and the Christian Science Monitor, he illustrated thousands of stories with his sketches. In 1908, he began etching in his spare time, using a press he installed in his attic. His first exhibition came in 1914, the year of this print. Like his other figure studies, it shows a journalist's eye for economy and detail. Natalie Sturges Butler wrote that her father loved the sea, and he traveled often to the Maine coast and Boston wharves with his sketch pad. United States, Americas
