Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Complete Etched Works of Thomas Moran, N. A. And M. Nimmo Moran, S. P. E: On Exhibition at C. Klackner's, 5 East 17th Street, New York, March 1889 Always an experimentalist and an inventor of ways and means in art, he pursued his earlier labors in etching rather as a diversion from his work in color and in black and white, than as a special mission. But, as he advanced, the fascination of the work grew upon him. The limitless possibilities of the needle and acid appealed to his nervous and progressive nature with a special charm. To complete one plate was but to master new methods and processes by which another might be better produced; and so the abundant collection which constitutes his etched work of the present, grew into existence. Success encouraged him in his labors. At every exhibition where they were shown, his etchings won fresh laurels for him. They were accepted by the cognoscenti at their proper value, and hailed by the critics with the applause that was their due. The hard fight which his brush had won, had made the new campaign easier for him, and its result was to secure for Thomas Moran, the etcher, a position commensurate with that which Mr. Moran, the painter, held.
