Sir Francis Seymour Haden, R.A., P.R.E.1818-1910.
Grayling Fishing. 1897. Mezzotint with drypoint. Schneiderman 227.ii/v. 7 1/2 x 11 5/8 (10 x 14 1/8). Excellent condition. A rich impression printed in dark brown ink on white wove paper. Gold Medal winner at the Paris Exposition. Signed in pencil. $1,200.
As the trout season draws to a close the completely wild grayling come into their own. Quite possibly the location is at the upper reaches of the Test River, which Haden etched in other plates. Haden placed a fish at the end of the fisherman's line.
