Plate 17 (page 156) In "Etching: An Outline," Koehler contrasts the somber effects of Farrer's "Sweet is the Hour of Rest" [2013.414 (16/31)] with Parrish's scattering of broad sunlight in "Annisquam" to demonstrate the versatility of American printmaking. The effects of sunlight that Parrish achieves are done by way of contrast, "an accentuation in the centre, and the dying away into a flood of light towards the distance." Koehler suggests that these contrasts might have been emphasized even further by "wiping out lights here and there with the finger," a technique that Parrish was known to use. However, Koehler made the decision to print the plate simply, wiped only with a rag. Annisquam is near Gloucester on the coast of Massachusetts Bay (page 159-160). Schneider writes that Parrish most likely loaned the plate for "Annisquam" for Koehler's publication for a fee of $50.00. The plate was later sold in 1889 to Klackner. Parrish made a few detailed graphite and pen preparatory drawings for this image, which are now in the collection at the Cape Ann Museum. There was only one state of this etching made (Schneider page 71).
