Impressions taken from this plate (54) |
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It must have been taken from London to Venice specifically for the Fine Art Society set of etchings, but then used for the 'Second Venice Set' instead. It was similar in size to several other Venetian etchings including The Riva 229,
The Bridge, Santa Marta 201,
The Balcony 202 and
The Rialto 199.
It was published by Messrs Dowdeswell and Thibaudeau with A Set of Twenty-six Etchings (the 'Second Venice Set') in 1886. It was cancelled with rough, widely spaced crossed diagonal lines.
The plate is now in the Art Institute of Chicago. 9
