Etudes à l'Eau-Forte par Francis Seymour Haden. Notice et descriptions par Philippe Burty
Haden. Burty, Philippe
Paris. Jules Claye. 1866
Sold
An exceptional copy presented to Phillipe Burty and annotated by Henri Vever; the last vignette in the preface has been 'touched' by the artist.
From the edition limited to 250 copies.
A rare and charming collection of etchings by Seymour Hayden, illustrating the artist's work in Britain.
Twenty-four of the plates depict the landscape around London, the Thames, Ireland and Wales and the final plate is a portrait of Thomas Haden. The engravings have both vibrancy and rich detail, gained from Haden's practice of working in the open-air, a method that would be taken-up by the Impressionist painters at the end of the century - 'He [Seymour Haden] has only to add that the etchings were made without any view to publication - that they were begun and finished in the open air - and that they received few of the corrections and none of the additions of the studio' [Notice to the text].
The text reproduces an article printed in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts by Philippe Burty and contains a catalogue of the etched work of Seymour Haden.
The prints are as follows:
Out of Study Window, Sloane Street.
Battersea Reach.
The House of Lord Harrington, viewed from Kensington Gardens.
The Towing Path.
Sunset on the Thames.
