According to Johan Poort (Mesdag, life and work, pages 61-63), Mesdag became a member of the Dutch Etching Club in 1889. As far as Poort has been able to determine, only 2 etchings by Mesdag are known. The etching offered is one of them.
This was recently described as follows at an auction in Kuyper (Haarlem): Mesdag, HW (1831-1915). Moored fishing boat. Etching, 19.5x15.5 cm., monogrammed "HWM" in the plate, from Portefeuille der Nederlandsche Etsclub. Year 6, 1891, on Japanese.
Etching can be found at Poort (page 63) and is in the depot of, among others, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Kroller-Moller:

Mesdag did not make many etchings. They are also not common in the trade.
