The Fishmonger's Shop.

The Fishmonger's Shop.[Explanation:] The Drawing of Frederick Walker's which Mr. Macbeth is adding to his series of etchings after the most charming of modern English masters, is one of the most exquisite examples of the painters' power of extracting beauty and delight from the commonplace scenes and incidents of daily life...Mr. Macbeht is now working on the plate, and it is hope that a finished proof will be ready early in May. Subscribers' names received by the publisher.

Photogravure with printed letterpress. 139 x 109mm. 5½ x 4¼". Stuck to album sheet and folded.
