This impression was published in 1868 by Philip Gilbert Hamerton (1834–1894) in London as plate v (opposite page 282) in “Etching & Etchers” (1868).

Etching on laid paper (partial watermark) with full margins as published.

Size: (sheet) 16.9 x 25.1 cm; (plate) 11.5 x 14.3 cm; (image borderline) 11.2 x 14.1 cm.

Inscribed in plate: (lower right): “AW F”

State iii (of iii) with “Cross-hatching added on the trunk of the tree at the center, just below the foliage. Heavy cross-hatching added in the dark area at the lower left” (Morse [1992], p. 61).

Condition: a richly inked impression—note retroussage marks around the figure and dog—with full margins and red edging to the sheet (as published) in a near pristine condition with no tears, holes, folds, abrasions or significant stains.

I am selling this superb impression from the Hamerton edition of 1868—interesting to note the nineteenth century desire to add richness to an impression like this by the use of retroussage (i.e., a technique employed when wiping the still wet plate to allow ink to “spill” over the lines)—for the total cost of AU$298 (currently US$200/EUR193.20/GBP167.07 at the time of this listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in the world.
