Edmond
Yon (aka Edmond Charles Joseph
Yon) (1836–1897)
“Near the Coast at Cayeux-Sur-Mer” (Picard coast, France), 1885, illustration facing page 37 to Philip Gilbert Hamerton’s (1834–1894) “Landscape”, published in 1885 by Seeley & Co. (fl.1839–early 1900s) in London.
Etching,
drypoint and dot-roulette on fine wove paper with full margins as published.
Size:
(sheet) 21.3 x 31.1 cm; (plate) 16.2 x 24.3 cm; (image borderline) 14 x 21.7
cm.
Inscribed
in plate below the image borderline: (left) “Edmond Yon P[inx]t
& Sc[ulp]t”.
Condition:
a richly inked and well-printed (near flawless) impression in a pristine
condition with no tears, holes, folds, abrasions, stains, foxing or signs of
handling.
I am
selling this superb etching with velvety rich touches of drypoint showing a
herdsman leading a cow through marshlands—possibly at the estuary of the River
Somme in Baie de Somme in which the town of Cayeux-sur-Mer (mentioned in the
title) is located—for AU$187 in total (currently US$122.63/EUR112.65/GBP96.25 at
the time of posting this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and
handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes
imposed by some countries.
If you
are interested in purchasing this marvellous etching by a true master of the
craft—note how the artist has created the effect of a “splash” of light falling
on the reeds in the front of the herdsman and used the silhouette shapes of
leaves in the foreground to give spatial depth to the scene—please contact me
(oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make
the payment easy.
