Label TextThis print portrays "The Golden Swan," a bohemian watering place in New York. It was a favorite of people in the theater, including Eugene O'Neill who is pictured in the upper right corner of the print. Technically, this is one of a very few prints for which Sloan used aquatint to create broad areas of dark tones.
