Etchings and original artwork mostly from Knight

|
Etchings are prints
which are made by scratching a design in a film
of resin that covers a metal plate, usually
copper. The plate is then placed in an acid bath
which eats away at the exposed copper, creating
grooves to hold ink. In the nineteenth century,
the technique appealed to painters because they
could draw freely and quickly in the resin film
with a needle and were able to produce prints
without the assistance of a professional
printer.

Alphonse Legros (1837 - 1911)
Alphonse Legros was born in France but moved
to England in 1863 on the advice of his friend,
Whistler. He became a citizen in 1881, but never
completely grasped the English language.A master
etcher of figure subjects, portraits and
landscapes, Legros assumed the head
professorship of etching and engraving at the
Royal College in South Kensington in 1875. He
later became the professor of art at the Slade
School of Art, London. He was one of the group
of artists who proposed the idea of the
Société des Aquafortistes to the
French publisher Cadart in 1862 and was a
founder member of the Society of Painter-Etchers
in London in 1880. From this position he
fashioned a standard and influenced many younger
British artists, most notably William Strang,
Charles Furse and Charles Holroyd. In total
Legros's graphic oeuvre runs to 704 etchings.
Most of Legros's figure subjects were inspired
by the artist's early impressions of French
peasant life. Influences upon his art in this
area have been traced to the paintings and
drawings of Gustave Courbet and the art of Goya
and the Spanish School.

North End of Telegraph Hill, San
Francisco, by John W. Winkler, (Austria,
1890 - San Francisco, 1979)
Etching, signed in pencil to lower margin, also
signed and dated 1918 in the image, £425
inc
plate size approx. 242 x 180 mm (9.5 x 7 ins)
framed and glazed . In original frame clean and
perfect
One of the finest American etchers of
the early twentieth century, J. W. Winkler was
born in Austria settling in California early in
life. Winkler studied under Frank van Sloun at
the California Institute of Arts and published
his first original etching in 1915. During the
following eight years he established a large
national reputation for his etchings, the great
majority being depictions of San Francisco and
its environs. By 1923 he had created 88
etchings, which were often compared to the work
of Whistler, particularly the Whistler etchings
found in the 'French Set' and 'Thames Set'. Like
Whistler, John W. Winkler had the ability to
capture life and movement with the utmost
simplicity. One Winkler scholar wrote, "His
technique is so eminently suited to all that he
wished to express that it has been little
modified during these ten years past. He makes
no preparatory designs, sketches or tracings;
his impatient nature at no time permits of his
delaying from attacking the copper once he has
found the motive of the composition. All his
plates have been etched directly from nature,
after long search and careful observation, in
the bustle of the streets or amid the coming and
going of the passers-by."
In 1923, John Winkler moved to Paris and
resided in that city until 1930. During this
time the artist produced etchings of Paris
streets and its occupants as well as landscape
views of Normandy and other provinces. Ferme,
Normandie (Farm, Normandy) was commissioned by
the Paris art journal, Gazette des Beaux-Arts,
in 1924. It is a fine example of Winkler's
masterful use of line and space. Returning to
the United States, John Winkler became a full
member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the
Brooklyn Society of Etchers and the American
Society of Illustrators. In 1936 he was admitted
into the prestigious National Academy of Design.

He first studied art in his native Chester at

the Royal Academy in Antwerp. He created
slightly over one hundred original etchings
during his career: most being views of London,
New York, Eton, Winchester and Durham. He was
elected a full member of the Royal Engravers in
1899. Museums that purchased his etchings and
paintings in the early twentieth century include
the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert

19th century Victorian era etchers and
engravers often pulled a select number of
impressions before the plate was printed for the
regular edition with the title. The Remarque is
a small sketch which appears in the lower

Remarque impressions are always the most sought

Henry Wilkinson , born 1921. An
engraver very often of sporting subjects. Born
in Bath in Somerset, his Father having been
taught to paint by John Ruskin, eventually
became the Headmaster of Winchester College of
Art. It was whilst living in Winchester that the
young Wilkinson learned the first skills of Gun
Making, climbing out of the scullery window in
the evenings to work, unknown to his farther, at
the famous gunmakers 'Hamond of Winchester'. It
was at Hammonds that he first became fascinated
by engraving, learning from the craftsmen who
decorated the metalwork on the hand-made
firearms. Today Henry Wilkinson is one of the
last remaining qualified Muzzle Loading' gun
maker in the country
Following his early studies at Winchester
College of Art, entrance was gained to the Royal
College of Art in the Painting School. By hard
work a place was also gained in the Engraving
School, under Robert Austin R.A. and Malcolm
Osbourne MA. MBE, where he won the Royal British
Institute Scholarship in Engraving. This gave
him extra time at the college and enabled him to
gain a traveling scholarship, as well as the
diplomas. Study in Heidelberg, France and Italy
followed. After the War he was elected to the
Royal Society of Painters, Etchers &
Engravers, ultimately as a counselor.
For many years he was professor of the
Engraving School at the City and Guilds of
London, a consultant to the Morris Singer Bronze
Founders and a council member of the Royal
Society of Painter Etchers. These appointments
he has now relinquished.
While a student at the Royal College of Art
Wilkinson was introduced to Harold Dickins by
Sir Walter Lamb secretary to the R.A.. Dickins
then introduced Wilkinson to George Vernon
Stokes the famous canine artist and engraver,
Wilkinson then helped Stokes print his editions
until his death in 1954. It was only then that
Wilkinson began to produce his original
drypoints of Dogs and other Sporting Subjects.
From origination, to hand engraving his metal
plates and eventually printing and finishing the
editions, the work is entirely his own. He even
produces his own printing inks.

Cyril Henry BARRAUD (1877-1940) £260
Windmill titled as to location but I cannot
decipher it !
Canadian/British etcher Born in Barnes,
England, in 1877, Barraud studied art and then
worked as a commercial illustrator. His
commercial work experience provided him with a
clear understanding of design and composition,
important factors that are apparent in his later
work. In 1913, Barraud emigrated to Canada and
in May 1915 enlisted in the Winnipeg Grenadiers.
He went overseas in August that year with the
43rd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary
Force.He was with the battalion when it left for
France in late February 1916. Eight months later
he was wounded in the left leg, but recovered in
time to return to France a few weeks before
Christmas. The Canadian War Memorials Fund
(CWMF) appointed him an official war artist on
Nov. 1, 1917.
Long before his appointment, Barraud was busy
sketching scenes along the front. Some of these
works are the only depictions we have of the
beautiful architecture that existed prior to the
destructive forces of war. The artist filled
seven sketchbooks, completing more than 300
images. Many of the paintings and etchings he
created for the CWMF were constructed from these
drawings.The inevitable destruction of these
locations is as carefully rendered as the
original idylic settings. The colours of mud and
rubble have crept into much of this work, and
add to its elegance. His etchings are printed in
browns, greys and sepias. Even his paintings
have a subdued palette. Barraud retired from
service at the end of August 1919. He died in
England in 1965,

, SIR FRANCIS SEYMOUR HADEN (1818-1910),
English surgeon and etcher, was born in London on
the 16th of September 1818, his father, Charles
Thomas Haden, being a well-known doctor and amateur
of music. He was educated at University College
school and University College, London, and also
studied at the Sorbonne, Paris, where he took his
degree in 1840. He was admitted as a member of the
College of Surgeons in London in 1842. Besides his
many-sided activities in the scientific world,
during a busy and distinguished career as a
surgeon, he followed the art of original etching
with such vigour that he became not only the
foremost British exponent of that art but was the
principal cause of its revival in England. By his
strenuous efforts and perseverance, aided by the
secretarial ability of Sir W. R. Drake, he founded
the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers.
As president he ruled the destinies of that society
with a strong hand from its first beginnings in
1880. In 1843-1844, with his friends Duval, Le
Cannes and Col. Guibout, he had travelled in Italy
and made his first sketches from nature. Haden
attended no art school and had no art teachers, but
in 1845, 1846, 1847 and 1848 he studied portfolios
of prints belonging to an old second-hand dealer
named Love, who had a shop in Bunhill Row, the old
Quaker quarter of London. These portfolios he would
carry home, and arranging the prints in
chronological order, he studied the works of the
great original engravers, Durer, Lucas van Leyden
and Rembrandt. These studies, besides influencing
his original work, led to his important monograph
on the etched work of Rembrandt. By lecture and
book, and with the aid of the memorable exhibition
at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1877, he
endeavoured to give a just idea of Rembrandts work,
separating the true from the false, and giving
altogether a nobler idea of the masters mind by
taking away from the list of his works many dull
and unseemly plates that had long been included in
the lists. His reasons are founded upon the results
of a study of the masters works in chronological
order, and are clearly expressed in his monograph,
The Etched Work of Rembrandt critically
reconsidered, privately printed in 1877, and in The
Etched Work of Rembrandt True and False (1895).
Notwithstanding all this study of the old masters
of his art, Hadens own plates are perhaps more
individual than any artists, and are particularly
noticeable for a fine original treatment of
landscape subjects, free and open in line, clear
and well divided in mass, and full of a noble and
dignified style of his own. Even when working from
a picture his personality dominates the plate, as
for example in the large plate he etched after J.
M. W. Turners Calais Pier, which is a classical
example of what interpretative work can do in black
and white. Of his original plates, more than 250 in
number, one of the most notable was the large
Breaking up of the Agamemnon. An early plate, rare
and most beautiful, is Thames Fisherman. Mytton
Hall is broad in treatment, and a fine rendering of
a shady avenue of yew trees leading to an old
manor-house in sunlight. Sub Tegmine was etched in
Greenwich Park in 1859; and Early MorningRichmond,
full of the poetry and freshness of the hour, was
done, the artist has said, actually at sunrise. One
of the rarest and most beautiful of his plates is A
By-Road in Tipperary ; Combe Bottom is another; and
Shere Mill Pond (both the small study and the
larger plate), Sunset in Ireland, Penton Hook, Grim
Spain and Evening Fishing, Longparish, are also
notable examples of his genius. A catalogue of his
works was begun by Sir William Drake and completed
by Mr N. Harrington (1880). During later years
Haden began to practise the sister art of mezzotint
engraving, with a measure of the same success that
he had already achieved in pure etching and in
dry-point. £65 signed to plate only
