From frankwbenson.com:
"In 1911, simply has a form of recreation, Benson began experimenting with the art of etchings in his barn studio in Maine. In letters to an artist friend, Charles Woodberry, Benson revealed a growing fascination with this medium during the first few years of his printmaking. During the next four years, he completed several dozen etchings although he did not exhibit any of them. In 1915, at the urging of friends, he included a few of his etched pieces at a one-man show at the Guild of Boston Artists. The etchings sold out within a week and the demand for Benson's etchings grew steadily over the ensuing decades."
