Putney ad Ripam Tamesis.
E.f [monogram of John Evelyn]
[n.d. c.1649] [But later]
Very rare etching, 105 x 150mm (4¼ x 5¾"). Small margins. Tipped into album sheet.
In his famous Diary, Evelyn documents taking a barge up the Thames in April 1649 to visit young ladies' schools in Putney, where he mentions sketching the landscape. An impression of this exact print was corrected in pencil by Evelyn himself to read Battersea . John Evelyn (1620–1706) was a diarist, virtuoso, and amateur etcher. Nearly all of his own etchings were produced in 1649. His treatise Sculptura was published in 1662, although his interest in printmaking diminished in later life.
