Description:
London:: William Heinemann,, 1898.. First printing. Fine. A Fine original color-printed lithograph. Quarto (9.75 x 12.25). Archivally double-matted to 14.25 x 16.5 inches, suitable for framing. William Nicholson (British 1872-1949) gained notoriety as a beloved portrayer of British Victorian culture with his dignified caricatures of both the pillars of society and the lay folk. His woodcut portraits of Queen Victoria, James McNeill Whistler, and Rudyard Kipling, from which this print was inspired, were both traditional yet innovative. Referencing the subculture of the late 19th Century Parisian Cafe society through the poster advertisements, and the work of Toulouse-Lautrec, Nicholson's mid-tonal compositions honored the void as well as the light. His revolutionary technique of carving away wide sections of block introduced a modern perspective to the traditional art of portraiture, caricature and book illustration. Matted in Rag Board

London:: Edward Orme,, 1810.. First Edition. Fine Condition. A fine original etching on wove paper, drawn from life and etched by Samuel Howitt, and published and sold by Edward Orme, Printseller to the King [George IV]. Quarto (11.25 x 8.25 inches, 285 x 209 mm). Very light toning to margins otherwise clean. Samuel Howitt (1756-1822) was a talented self-trained painter and etcher of animals whose work enhanced British animal portraiture and sporting art of the late Georgian Era. As a young man familiar with the ancient woodlands and royal hunting grounds of Epping Forest, Howitt was able to capture the refined essence of the British landscape as a setting in which to render his charming depictions of animals; both wild and tame, foreign and domestic. In addition; inspired by his experiences as a field sportsman, Howitt excelled at the spirited depiction of the hunt. Although Howitt was a close friend and brother-in-law of the celebrated English artist Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827), Howitt…
