Item History & Price
ORIGINAL 1878 FRANCES SEYMOUR HADEN (1818-1910) 'WINDSOR' ETCHING (SCHNEIDERMAN 186)
This is just a great original piece. Seymour Haden was one of the most important English etchers of the 19th Century. If you collect Haden's work, check my store for the others I have available. A great opportunity to add a few to your collection. Happy to combine shipping to help you save. This is a later work by Haden. According to a gallery selling th...is work for a lot more than I am asking, "Etched toward the end of Haden's career, this large etching was done in 1878 in twelve states. It was based on a graphite drawing that Haden had done, on which he commented (in graphite): "Done on a railway bridge in bodily fear of train." (None came). Cataloger Richard Schneiderman notes in the raisonné of Haden's prints: "A creek banked with trees and shrubs, used by the Eton boys for swimming, leads into the Thames at Windsor; the tower and older parts of the castle in the left distance." Windsor Castle was built in the 11th century in the English county of Berkshire and has been occupied by British royalty since that time, starting with Henry I. Originally designed to protect the Norman dominance around the outskirts of London and oversee a strategically important part of the River Thames. Windsor Castle was built as a motte-and-bailey, with three wards surrounding a central mound."
A beautiful large work with the image measuring 13 x 17 1/2 on complete original sheet measuring 20 1/4 x 25 inches. It is signed lower right in pencil below the image, though the signature has faded somewhat. Print is laid down. There is a toning box from the original matte and the print shows some consistent toning but it is still a dark crisp impression. All in all a very good example of this scarce print. A stamp along the bottom margin recto reads "Made in England". Not exactly sure why this is there but think perhaps it was done for shipping across country borders in order to maintain or avoid tariffs or taxes. In a mid 20th Century black wood frame that is complimentary and ready to hang. Frame measures 23 x 26 1/2 inches. CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS GREAT PIECE. DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.
Shipping and handling can be calculated based on the ebay shipping calculator. If you have any questions regarding the work, please dont hesitate to ask. Pictures are an excellent indication of condition. Though the shipping says it will take 5 days of handling, usually items are shipped much faster and if you pay right away, the item most likely will go out in the next day or two. If there is any problems with the item please dont hesitate to email me. I guarantee and stand 100% behind everything I sell. No reason to open up any sort of cases. Just simply contact me and I will handle any and all problems. Out of the nearly 500 items I ship around the world every year, a very few of them occasionally get lost or broken. I insure every item and will handle all insurance claims and make sure you are reimbursed 100%. Check my feedback. After nearly 15 years of selling on ebay, my reputation speaks for itself. If you are not happy with your purchase, I will work to make sure you are. Thanks again for your interest and bidding.
