[n.d. c.1908.]
Etching. Plate 110 x 110mm. 4¼ x 4¼".
This etching is one of the very few produced over four years by the Detmold twins for distribution at Christmas. This impression is double initalled for both brothers and signed in pencil by Edward. The brothers' individual monograms appear upper left and right in the etching. Edward supervised and edition of the etchings in a very limited number of proofs in 1920. An Eagle with wings spread stands on a branch, below is a bag with 'amitié ' written on it. Edward Julius Detmold (1883-1957) was twin brother to Charles Maurice Detmold (1883-1908). The pair were among the artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. They worked together making sketches at the Zoological Gardens and exhibited together from the age of fourteen. After the death of Charles in 1908, Edward became one of the best Edwardian animal illustrators, known for his subtle placement of animals within their natural environment.

In 1918 he became an official war artist for the RAF and was stationed in France. Simpson was already forty-five when he took up etching in 1925, at the height of the boom period for the medium. His first twenty or so plates were etched with a gramophone needle and printed by the artist himself on the small press lent to him by a local Carlisle printing firm. His first exhibition of etchings took place in Glasgow at Wishart Brown in March 1926. His friend Frank Brangwyn wrote the catalogue introduction. A second highly successful show was staged in November 1926 by Alex, Reid and Lefevre in London. Simpson exhibited in Munich, Venice, Florence & Stockholm.

[Boat on the Ganges.]
Etching by Francis Fane [in ink outside the image.]
[n.d. c.1850.]
Etching, extremely scarce. 109 x 120mm.
A view along the Ganges, the river that linked Delhi with Lucknow during the India Mutiny 1857-1859.
Colonel Francis Augustus Fane (1824-1893) was a Colonel who fought in the Indian Mutiny. He was commander of the Peshawar Light Horse. He gained the rank of Colonel in the service of the 25th Regiment. His life was full of excitement starting first as a soldier, then a banker before settling down as a country gentleman. He started life as a soldier in Antigua where he did some extensive sightseeing before returning to England for his second assignment which took him to Quebec, leading to further sightseeing with his uncle Major -General Mildmay Fane, around Niagara, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and Boston. In 1854 he returned to England to immediately join his uncle in India. It was until 1860 when he next moved to join the 25th regiment in Gibraltar. Following the death of his father in 1862 and the later death of his brother-in-law Anthony Willson, the Sleaford banker in 1866, he returned in November to end his army career, and embarked on a career in banking and finance.
During his time as a soldier he managed to find a lot of free time to indulge in numerous pastimes. This enabled him to become adept at music, and at drawing, painting and engraving. Whilst in the West Indies he had a large organ, which he took with him and exchanged in Calcutta in 1857 for a large harmonium, which was lost during the Mutiny. This ability enabled him to play in church in Quebec and in 1860 he received a new piano from Berlin in Gibraltar. It wasn’t until 1851 that he began etching, at which point he was in London based at a printers to learn that art of printing and engraving. He then bought his own printing press, which he took to India.
After leaving finance he soon became involved in local affairs in Fulbeck and in farming. He became a Justice of the Peace in 1875; and was very active in the affairs of the Conservative Association and of the Agricultural Society. His diaries came to abrupt end in 1884, nine years before his death, so little can be said about his remaining years.

[Head Study.]
Original-Radierung Von O. Fischer.
Druck & Verlag Der Gesellschaft E. Verveilf. Kunts in Wien. [n.d. c.1901.]
Etching on wove paper. Plate 310 x 235mm. 12¼ x 9¼".
Head study of a Jew. Otto Fischer (Leipzig, 1807-Dresden 1947) was one of Germany's most famous etchers and painters at the beginning of the twentieth century, Otto Fischer studied at the Dresden Academy, under Preller and Hermann Prell. From 1894 to 1914 Otto Fischer participated in many exhibitions throughout Europe and America. He then assumed the post of Professor of Art at the Dresden Academy. Today the art of Otto Fischer is included in major museums in Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Breslau, Budapest and at the Albertina, Vienna. In his etched art, Otto Fischer gained a strong reputation as a superbly talented delineator of landscapes, still-lifes, figure studies and portraits. Head Study is surely a tour de force of Otto Fischer's art. With its finely crafted lines and shadings the artist has rendered the soul of his study. Vervielfaltigende Kunst issued it first original etching in 1871. During the following sixty years it published masterworks by Austrian, German, Czech, Swiss, French, Dutch and English artists. More internationally focused and less conservative than most of its rival publishers, Vervielfaltigende Kunst became a spearhead for the vibrant experiments of Symbolist, Expressionist and Secessionist artists during the initial decades of the twentieth century. Also, its superb printing techniques were second to none. As a result, Vervielfaltigende Kunst is now regarded as a most vital fine art publisher of its day and individual prints from this publication are eagerly sought after on the international market.

C.W.C. 1878
Etching. Plate: 260 x 190mm (10¼ x 7½"). Uncut sheet; signed by artist in pencil. Creasing on Chine paper.
Etching by history painter Charles West Cope (1811-90), widely regarded as the finest of his prints. Cope is primarily remembered for his frescoes in the House of Lords and the peers' corridor, but in addition to his academic renderings of historical and literary subjects, he was a talented printmaker. He was a founder member of the Etching Club (whose members also included Samuel Palmer). This late etching of a woman caring for a baby (made soon before Cope left London to retire to the country) was originally one of a pair with 'Hope Deferred'.
