Item Details
Description
Sir Francis Seymour Haden ( 1818-1910 ) English surgeon, best known as an etcher. Haden's printmaking was invigorated by his much younger brother-in-law, James Whistler, at the Haden home in Sloane Street in 1855. A press was installed there and for a while Haden and Whistler collaborated on a series of etchings of the Thames. The relationship and project did not last. Haden followed the art of original etching with such vigor that he became not only the foremost British exponent of that art but brought about its revival in England. His strenuous efforts and perseverance, aided by the secretarial ability of Sir WR Drake, resulted in the foundation of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers. As president he ruled the society with a strong hand from its first beginnings in 1880. ORIGINAL ETCHING, title: "Battersea Reach" done in 1863, etching and drypoint. [Schneiderman 48]. A view of the Thames at Battersea with Battersea Railway Bridge in the distance. Signed, dated and annotated 'Old Chelsea Out of Whistler's window' in the plate. Another example of this print is in the Tate Museum collection. Image approx. 6 x 9" plus margins. Picture of him is NOT included.
