HARPER'S WEEKLY (single print), New York, Sept. 27, 1873  This authentic, stand-alone, full-page woodcut engraving features Winslow Homer's celebrated illustration, "Gloucester Harbor," from an original September 27, 1873 issue of Harper's Weekly.

The artistic significance of this print centers on Homer's deep fascination with the coastal life and maritime beauty of Cape Ann, Massachusetts. During the summer of 1873, Homer stayed in Gloucester, where he produced a seminal series of watercolors and drawings that marked a pivotal turning point in his transition toward marine painting. "Gloucester Harbor" beautifully captures tranquil dories, local fishermen, and sunlit waters, reflecting Homer's mastery of light, atmosphere, and naturalistic genre scenes.

Widely considered among his finest graphic works for Harper's Weekly, this print remains one of the most highly sought-after and desirable Homer illustrations among 19th-century American art and maritime collectors.

Single full-page print, measuring approximately 11 1/2 by 16 inches, in very good condition. A great opportunity to own this desirable print at nearly half the price. To view the listing for a complete issue for this date, go to 173716.
