[Charles William Campbell after George Frederrick Watts.]
[n.d., c.1885]
Unique proof mezzotint on chine collé touched by Watts with his initials bottom right, platemark 500 x 365mm (19½ x 14¼"). Paper missing top right, resulting in creasing to chine collé; foxing in margins.
Extremely rare touched proof of Charles William Campbell's engraving from the 1664 half-length self-portrait by George Frederick Watts (London, Tate Gallery). Watts has made correction to the print himself, and initialled the print in the lower right. One of the few prints by Campbell (1855-87), who studied mezzotint engraving with Hubert Herkomer. His total 'oeuvre' consisted of twelve finished and seven unfinished plates.
