Etching in England

Wedmore, Frederick, Sir, 1844-1921 · 1895 · London : G. Bell & Sons · 20 pictures

Etching in England is a 1895 London art-history survey by Frederick Wedmore, published by G. Bell & Sons, aimed at collectors and students of British etching. Its plates reproduce landscape etchings by named British artists, each rotated on the page and captioned with the artist's name and print title. The landscapes are dense with tangled trees, distant towers and churches, and open skies rendered in fine hatched lines and dark tonal masses, a useful reference for designers studying how etched foliage and atmosphere build contrast without colour.
