George Wesley Bellows (American, 1882-1925) Base Hospital Lithograph on wove paper 25-1/2 x 19 inches (64.8 x 48.3 cm) Bears inscription lower left: No 14 Bears inscription lower right: George Bellows / J.B.B. Bears inscription in margin lower right: BFT 1030 Property from the Bellows Trust Introduced to lithography by Albert Sterner in 1916, George Bellows quickly mastered the medium and emerged as the leading printmaker of the Ashcan School. As his proficiency developed, he collaborated with master lithographic printers George C. Miller and later Bolton Brown to produce his prints. Many drawings and lithographs remained unsigned at the time of George Bellows’ death in 1925. His widow, Emma S. Bellows, and later his daughter, Jean Bellows Booth, signed remaining impressions with the artist’s name followed by their respective initials (ESB or JBB). The present work retains the inscription J.B.B. applied at lower right as well as The Bellows Trust inventory number (BFT) in the outer margin.
