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 condition, with light handling, a few tiny foxing spots to the paper edge, minor creasing to corners and other minor marks/blemishes to the margins. light water stain to left half of the paper that just clips bottom right corner of the etching impression. There is also very slight ripple to the paper, so it doesn’t sit perfectly flat.

Etching measures 4cm x 4.8cm. Total paper size 28.1cm x 39cm.
