Additional
Information about the Print
This
etching is one of a small selection of Landscapes
produced by other artists in the year of Palmer’s
death featured in this exhibition of
works by his peers.
They
comprise three plates from English Etchings – A
Monthly Publication of Original Etchings by English
Artists, published by William Reeves, Fleet
Street.
The
loose leaf etchings, in a paper folder, were
prefaced by a text describing the subjects or
by appropriate poetry, somewhat in the manner
of the earlier publications of The Etching Club.
