[Anne Hathway's Cottage. Stratford-on-Avon.] 17. [Anne Hathaway's Cottage, in the village of Shottery, one mile from Shakespeare's Birthplace, was the early home of Shakespeare's wife and of her family. The property was in the Hathaway family from the time of Henry VIII. to 1838. It is a thatched cottage of the Elizabethan period, and is preserved with much furniture of corresponding date. No building in England is more famous than this "humble" cottage, and no place excepting Shakespeare's Birthplace has more visitors. The cottage, or house, is furnished in a homely style. In one room is the famous courting settle beside the hearth, where it would be well in view of the parents sitting at either end of the chimney corner. The house is of interest as a typical thatched Elizabethan farmstead, but it is its association with Shakespeare that has made it a centre of attraction for visitors to Stratford.]

[Arabs around a fire.]
Iain Macnab [signed in pencil.]
[n.d., c.1940.]
Etching. 250 x 215mm, 9¾ x 8½". Split in platemark.
Iain MacNab [1890 - 1967] was born in Iloilo in the Philippines; he studied at Glasgow School of Art and Heatherley's School of Fine Art, London. He became owner and principal of the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London, and was influential in spreading the practice of wood engraving and in fostering the development of linocut printmaking. The school encouraged students' individuality and allowed them to join for whatever length of time they chose; it attracted passing visitors from abroad and thus its ideas and activities were carried abroad in their turn. In 1938 he published The Student's Book of Wood Engraving. His work shows clarity of form and composition in a vaguely Vorticist manner. One of the most original printmakers of the twentieth century Scottish Art, He exhibited at all the major public venues, including the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Glasgow Institute and the Royal Institute of Painters in Oil of which he served as president for nearly twenty years. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the V&A, the British Museum and the Ashmolean, Oxford.
