The curious cancelled etchings of Childe Hassam

The other day I came across a Childe Hassam etching in the Met Collection, and it was a proof from a cancelled plate. Curious, I did a bit of research and it seems that the Met has a whole bunch of cancellation proofs, scanned and online. See for yourself here and onwards: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/390447

When seeing cancellation proofs for sale online I’m usually wary - there should only ever be one cancellation proof, added by the artist or printer as proof of the destroyed / altered plate. Why one would circulate these other than the sale of an estate, I have no idea. The only other reason for cancelled plates (think Zorn) is that the plates were sold / passed on, and someone else pulled one or more prints from them. Which is fine, if you want a fine etching of a nude by the beach overlaid with deep and juicy drypoint lines ( @deepwoodtattoo make tattoos like this, bold lines blasted over older tats), but questionable if you wonder about the artist’s consent (re: there should only ever be one cancellation proof).

Who even makes cancellation proofs these days? LMK! I don’t, but then again, my prints aren’t in high demand anywhere, so I don’t have to deliver proof that the edition printed is all there ever will be, and due to working at the Royal Institute of Art for the last five years (but no more! Hire me!) I mostly did lithos, in which the cancellation of stones happens almost immediately, in a busy workshop full of eager students.

Is this tumblr thing still on? Check check...
