Description

A posthumous commemorative edition by A.J. Casson (Canadian, 1898-1992), titled March Morning, featuring a limited edition offset lithograph on paper. This work was issued in 1998 to mark the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth. The image captures a bleak winter landscape with a central farmhouse and bare deciduous trees, characteristic of Casson's style as a member of the Group of Seven. The print is hand-signed in pencil in the lower right margin, situated below a printed signature in the plate. The lower left margin is inscribed in pencil with the title and edition number 82/100 a/e (Artist Edition). A printed line at the bottom margin states 1898 in celebration of A.J. CASSON 100th Anniversary 1998. Visual inspection under magnification confirms a halftone dot pattern consistent with an offset lithographic reproduction. The print is housed in a decorative gilded frame with a double mat and a gold-toned fillet. A gold-toned commemorative medallion is inset in the lower portion of the mat, depicting a profile silhouette of the artist and the dates 1898-1998. The medallion is stamped with marks . Condition: The print is in good condition, showing no visible signs of foxing, fading, or moisture damage. The gilded frame, glazing, and double matting are well-preserved with no apparent chips or cracks.
