AN ANTIQUE STEEL ENGRAVING MADE IN THE LATE 1870s!!

 

FROM THE ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Any one acquainted with the picture-well known through the engraving published by the Art-Union of London some years ago-'Harvest in the Highlands,' the joint production of Sir E. Landseer and Sir A. W. Callcott, and exhibited at the Academy in 1833 will be reminded of it by the work here engraved, which, in all probability, formed the original idea of the principal group in the larger painting, where the landscape is by Callcott and the figures by Landseer. The construction of the group in both pictures is very similar, but the component parts differ to some extent: the cart and horse, with the colt by the side of the latter, are identical in both; but in the finished picture the cart has no one seated in it, but is laden with corn, while the sketch shows the outline of a female figure. But the greatest difference is seen in the figures and animals immediately in front of the cart; and here, we venture to assert, the group in the sketch has the advantage in sweetness of sentiment, the young woman diligently plying her distaff, while the man, holding under his arm a quantity of newly-reaped corn, bends over her in conversation, the goats and the kids lying lovingly at the feet of the woman, and the calf standing near by, constitute as pretty and picturesque a group of its kind as can well be conceived. In the large picture some of these objects are introduced; for example, there is the young female, but she is standing with her side towards the spectator, holding a sheaf of corn under her right arm, while conversing with a group of children seated in front of her. The calf seen in the sketch is also there, but at some distance to the right of the group, in front of which lies a dog. The subject here engraved is, as already remarked, far more interesting than its assumed counterpart, excellent as the latter undoubtedly is.

 

BIOGRAPHY OF ARTIST: Sir Edwin (Henry) Landseer (b London, 7 March 1802; d London, 1 Oct 1873). Painter, draughtsman, sculptor and etcher, brother of (3) Charles Landseer. He became the best-known member of the family and was one of the most highly respected and popular British painters of the 19th century. He was first trained by his father, who taught him etching, and he then studied with Benjamin Robert Haydon and at the Royal Academy Schools in London. Precociously gifted, he drew competently from childhood and in 1813 he won the Silver Palette for draughtsmanship at the Society of Arts. In 1815 he exhibited at the Royal Academy for the first time, showing some drawings of a mule and of the heads of dogs. From an early age he was a frequent visitor to the menagerie in Exeter Change in the Strand, London, where he drew lions, monkeys and other animals. Animals remained the main subject of his art, and Haydon encouraged him to study their anatomy through dissection.

Please note: the terms used in our auctions for engraving, heliogravure, lithograph, print, plate, photogravure etc. are ALL prints on paper, NOT blocks of steel or wood. "ENGRAVINGS", the term commonly used for these paper prints, were the most common method in the 1700s and 1800s for illustrating old books, and these paper prints or "engravings" were inserted into the book with a tissue guard frontis, usually on much thicker quality rag stock paper, although many were also printed and issued as loose stand alone prints. So this auction is for an antique paper print(s), probably from an old book, of very high quality and usually on very thick rag stock paper.
