This Peter Moran (American 1841-1914) etching on parchment paper is excellent condition with no foxing - rips or holes. There is a bit of mat burn yellowing around the edges that is typical of any older - previously framed image. The back has two small fabric tape patches still attached that do not interfere with the image presentation and can be delicately removed by a professional framer.
The bottom right is pencil signed - "PMoran". Notice the dog head above the pencil signed signature.The bottom left of the plate is engraved with the artist signature as well.
The youngest of four Moran brothers, Peter was born in Lancashire, England, and came with his family to America in 1844. He was apprenticed to a lithographer at the age of sixteen but disliked the work and began to study with his brothers Thomas and Edward, who were both established artists in Philadelphia. Peter traveled to New Mexico in 1864—seven years before Thomas’s first sketching trip to Yellowstone—and again in the early 1880s. Several more trips west were made in the company of his brothers. Peter was also known for paintings and etchings of animal subjects, drawn from the bucolic surroundings of Philadelphia, where he maintained a studio throughout his career.
