This is an original dry point etching by the well renowned and talented Edward Borein (1873-1945). This piece is titled First Mesa and shows the great Southwestern cliff dwelling mesa of the Native American Indians. Borein was a working artist, having made his way in life on the proceeds of his art sales. The citizens of Santa Barbara are full of tales of Borein's senior years, when it is said the visitors to his studio on De La Guerra St. would be greeted with tall tales and etchings which could be had for a modest price. Amongst Edward Borein's close friends were the actor Leo Carillo and the humorist Will Rogers. They were often seen at the nearby "El Paseo" (www.calwestgroup.com) restaurant laughing and carrying on. His works sell very well at auction. This is not signed on the plate, but is an excellent work of art of his. This is in great condition. The frame measures 17.75”x23.75” and the art is 9”x15” rare larger sized etching.
