About This Item
Woodbridge, Suffolk: Antique Collectors Club, 2008. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. This edition reprinted by the Antique Collectors Club in 2008 (first published by Oxford University Press in 1999). Black hardcover with title in gilt on spine. Condition: Very good, no inscriptions. Dustjacket condition: Very good, with just the faintest hint of shelfwear. Not price-clipped. 289pp. Many b/w illustrations. This book contains a detailed account of the life and work of F.L.Griggs (1876-1938), acclaimed as one of the finest etchers of his time. Most of his subjects are architectural; some show actual places, whilst others are constructs from a rich arts-and-crafts imagination. Hitherto a largely unrecognised pivot in British Romantic Art, Griggs's work links that of Turner, Blake and Samuel Palmer with the neo-romantics Graham Sutherland and John Piper..
