Sir Frank William Brangwyn RA RWS RBA (1867-1956)

This etching is one of the 73 he made as illustrations to the book ‘L'Ombre de la Croix’(The Shadow of the Cross) by Jerome & Jean Tharaud; written in 1917. The etchings were published by Editions Lapina, Paris in 1931.  I have acquired a number of the etchings from the series, listed individually. Gifted by the artist from his studio to his chauffeur, thence by descent. Each etching will be posted unframed. All are unsigned.

Etching on wove paper. Paper in reasonable/used condition, with toning, light handling, creases to corners, a few small foxing spots to the paper edge  and other minor marks/blemishes to the margins. Light water stain to right half of the paper 1cm outside the etching impression. There is also very slight ripple to the paper, so it doesn’t sit perfectly flat.

Etching measures 3cm x 5.5cm. Total paper size 28.1cm x 39cm.
