Signed and dated within the plate. The finished state of this etching with reworking through out and defined chiaroscuro. (For earlier state see stock number 2761) Charles West Cope (1811-1890) was the leader of the Etching Club from its foundation and probably the best etcher among its members. He was conscientious and industrious and worked at improving his plates. Known to his contemporaries as the Poet-Laureate of the Nursery, his etching served as a contrast to the high-mindedly historical frescoes he painted to decorate the palace of Westminster. He was on the council of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers. State v/v |
