It’s a nice etching by the English Canadian artist, Herbert Raine, depicting a bridge in Carcassonne, France.
“RAINE, Herbert (1875-1951) devoted much of his career in Montreal to artistic pursuits, and was known as a talented etcher and water colourist who frequently exhibited his work with the Royal Canadian Academy. Born in Sunderland, Co. Durham, England on 2 December 1875 he was the son of John Raine, a ship owner and industrialist. Raine articled to Frank Caws, FRIBA from 1892 to 1896, then worked briefly for W.J. Gilliland in Belfast before moving to London to join the office of Sir Aston Webb in 1898. He attended evening classes for five years at the Royal Academy Schools and in 1902 formed a partnership with Charles R. Mitchell in London (see list of works under Mitchell & Raine). In 1907 both he and Mitchell emigrated to Canada”.
The piece is 12.5” x 10.5”. In fairly good condition for its age.
