Description: From a later edition of the complete works of Deuchar (A Collection of etchings after the most eminent Masters ..., first published in 1803.) This ed. which varies quite a bit from the earlier version, with less prints, but many more prints by Deuchar himself and others, we estimate was printed around 1870. The original work, was printed in a limited number for Deuchar's art friends. As such they are quite scarse. The date in our titles is the date the etchings were originally etched.
Artists and Engravers: Made by 'David Deuchar' after 'Jan Gillisz. Van Vliet'. David Deuchar (1743-1808) worked as an engraver and etcher in Edinburgh. Jan Gillisz. van Vliet (ca. 1606- 1669) was a pupil of Rembrandt in Leiden. He collaborated in the finishing of some of the prints by Rembrandt in his Leiden years. Van Vliet made a fine series of trades in print after his own design. He worked very much in the manner of Rembrandt. Later he stopped as a graphic artist and went into the bussiness of wine selling.
