  • Kerr Eby Etching - "Hungerford Bridge" (1929)
    May. 06, 2026

    Kerr Eby Etching - "Hungerford Bridge" (1929)

    Est: $350 - $525

    **Originally Listed At $300** Kerr Eby (Canadian, 1889-1946). "Hungerford Bridge" etching on paper, 1929. Edition 90. Hand-signed and numbered beneath etching. A finely executed etching by Kerr Eby depicting the Hungerford Foot Bridge spanning the River Thames in London, with the industrial riverside in the foreground and the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben visible in the hazy distance. Executed in 1929, the work reflects Eby's sharp eye for atmosphere and structural detail, capturing both the gritty dynamism of the docks and the architectural grandeur of the city beyond. Eby traveled through Great Britain and France in 1924-1925, a period that inspired many of his most compelling European cityscapes. In this composition, he balances meticulous draftsmanship with a tonal subtlety that lends the scene a sense of both immediacy and timelessness. The present example is from the numbered edition of 90, and is signed by the artist in pencil at lower right. Size of etching: 13.5" W x 8.75" H (34.3 cm x 22.2 cm); of frame: 20.5" W x 15.5" H (52.1 cm x 39.4 cm) "Hungerford Bridge" is represented in major institutional collections, including the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, Arizona State University, Boston Public Library, Davison Art Center (Wesleyan University), Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Huntington Museum of Art, Hood Museum of Art (Dartmouth College), Metropolitan Museum of Art, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, National Museum of American Art, New York Public Library, and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. About the artist: Kerr Eby was a Canadian-born illustrator and printmaker whose career became defined by his powerful depictions of modern warfare. Born in Tokyo to Canadian missionary parents, he later studied at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League in New York. Eby served with the U.S. Army during World War I, first in an ambulance unit and later as a camoufleur, creating sketches of life and death on the front that would shape his later work. In the decades that followed, he transformed these early impressions into haunting lithographs, many of which were gathered in his influential volume War. Recognized for his achievements, he was elected to the National Academy of Design in 1930 and became a full Academician in 1934. During World War II, though too old to enlist, he joined the Abbott Laboratories combat artists program and accompanied Marines in the Pacific campaigns, producing some of his most compelling images. Eby died in 1946 in Westport, Connecticut, after contracting a tropical illness while overseas. His drawings, prints, and paintings remain a vital record of 20th-century conflict, represented in the collections of major museums including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Detroit Institute of Arts.

    Est: $300 - $500

    Kerr Eby Canadian, (1889 - 1946) WWI fallen soldiers on a battlefield; war scene with cannon charcoal on board signed lower left. Biography from the Archives of askART: He was born in Japan in 1890, the son of Canadian Methodist Missionaries. After their return, the family lived in several Canadian towns before 15 year-old Kerr, having worked as a printer's apprentice at a local newspaper, moved to New York City to become an artist. He took art classes at Pratt Institute while working for a lithographic firm to help cover his tuition and living expenses. These expenses soon overwhelmed him and he returned to Canada and took a job surveying in northern Ontario. His time in the wilderness reinvigorated him and with his earnings he returned to NYC where he worked at a lithographic firm in the day and took evening classes at the Art Student League. After a few more summers surveying in Ontario, he became a full time illustrator. From 1913 to 1917, Eby rented a summer studio and rooms in a rundown waterfront warehouse just up the Mianus River from the Holley House, the boarding house that was the center of the Cos Cob art colony in Greenwich, Connecticut. In that studio he kept an etching press and in the summer of 1915, he and that press became a part of American art history. At the crest of his fame in the summer of 1915, 56 year-old American painter Childe Hassam was staying at the Holley House when he decided to perfect his recently rekindled interest in etching. Until then, despite having started his career as an apprentice to a wood-engraver and having done a few etchings in his early days in Europe, etching never held his interest. That summer it did. As noted in the New York Sun's review of Hassam's etching exhibit later that year at the Frederick Keppel & Company gallery in New York City, "a fellow artist, who etched, happened to be his neighbor in the country near Cos Cob, and placed his press and atelier at Mr. Hassam's service. There a number of plates were begun, and once fairly launched in these experiments Mr. Hassam caught the true etching fever, and gave almost his entire summer to making plates and printing them." The "fellow artist" was 25 year-old Kerr Eby. Eby had already mastered the art of etching and several of his etchings from that press are now thought to be influential on Hassam. Eby would continue to produce etchings throughout his career. (Keppel was Eby's uncle and an important art dealer in New York who helped establish prints as fine art in American. Keppel would exhibit Hassam's prints until 1932 and was often the exclusive dealer for Eby's etchings.) Eby is as well known for his First and Second World War combat works as he is for his "peace-time" works. In 1917, Eby enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in an ambulance unit and later as part of a camouflage unit in France. But he continued to sketch his observations and these became prints after the war. They show the horror and drudgery of war and in 1936, with war looming in Europe, Yale University Press published many of them in his book, War: Drawings and Etchings. Eby, at age 51, tried to enlist for World War II but was refused. He was chosen by Abbott Laboratories to be in its combat artist program. For four months, he was in the South Pacific with the Marines at Tarawa and Bougainville. There he became ill with a tropical disease which ultimately killed him two years later. He did finish his drawings for Abbott but, except for two, he didn't have time to complete the etchings from his battlefield sketches. He died in Norwalk, Connecticut in 1946. Submitted by John A. McKinney, Jr.

Recognized for his achievements, he was elected to the National Academy of Design in 1930 and became a full Academician in 1934. During World War II, though too old to enlist, he joined the Abbott Laboratories combat artists program and accompanied Marines in the Pacific campaigns, producing some of his most compelling images. Eby died in 1946 in Westport, Connecticut, after contracting a tropical illness while overseas. His drawings, prints, and paintings remain a vital record of 20th-century conflict, represented in the collections of major museums including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Detroit Institute of Arts.

    Kerr Eby Etching - "Hungerford Bridge" (1929)

    Est: $500 - $750

    Kerr Eby (Canadian, 1889-1946). "Hungerford Bridge" etching on paper, 1929. Edition 90. Hand-signed and numbered beneath etching. A finely executed etching by Kerr Eby depicting the Hungerford Foot Bridge spanning the River Thames in London, with the industrial riverside in the foreground and the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben visible in the hazy distance. Executed in 1929, the work reflects Eby's sharp eye for atmosphere and structural detail, capturing both the gritty dynamism of the docks and the architectural grandeur of the city beyond. Eby traveled through Great Britain and France in 1924-1925, a period that inspired many of his most compelling European cityscapes. In this composition, he balances meticulous draftsmanship with a tonal subtlety that lends the scene a sense of both immediacy and timelessness. The present example is from the numbered edition of 90, and is signed by the artist in pencil at lower right. Size of etching: 13.5" W x 8.75" H (34.3 cm x 22.2 cm); of frame: 20.5" W x 15.5" H (52.1 cm x 39.4 cm) "Hungerford Bridge" is represented in major institutional collections, including the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, Arizona State University, Boston Public Library, Davison Art Center (Wesleyan University), Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Huntington Museum of Art, Hood Museum of Art (Dartmouth College), Metropolitan Museum of Art, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, National Museum of American Art, New York Public Library, and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. About the artist: Kerr Eby was a Canadian-born illustrator and printmaker whose career became defined by his powerful depictions of modern warfare. Born in Tokyo to Canadian missionary parents, he later studied at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League in New York. Eby served with the U.S. Army during World War I, first in an ambulance unit and later as a camoufleur, creating sketches of life and death on the front that would shape his later work.
