Near Kingston 1938

"Near Kingston" is a 1938 etching by American artist John W. Taylor, who was active from 1897 to 1983. The artwork depicts a river scene with a large bridge in the background and three figures in the foreground. The viewer sees an industrial landscape, with a truck and a pile of planks and barrels in the lower left. This scene offers a glimpse into the industrialization of the Hudson River Valley in the late 1930s, captured in Taylor's signature style of etching, which often featured realistic representations of scenes from his local surroundings.
