Ernest David Roth (1879 — 1964) was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1879 and, at the age of five, immigrated with his parents to the United States. He studied painting at the National Academy of Design under George Maynard and Edgar Ward and at the New York School of Art under F. Luis Mora. Roth was a regular contributor to shows at the National Academy and the Pennsylvania Academy. In his painting and etching, Roth concentrated on simple architectural views, rarely including people in his scenes. He has received awards from the Salmagundi Club in 1911, 1912, 1915, 1917 and 1918, from the Chicago Society of Etchers in 1914 and 1936, from the Society of American Etchers in 1935 and from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1930.

These all have a little foxing to the sheets out side of the engraved work on wove watercolor paper otherwise in nice condition. Thomas Gainsborough is considered to have been one of the most innovative and important British print makers of the 18th century and, although he attained both fame and fortune through his outstanding ability as a portrait painter, he viewed himself more as a landscape artist, especially during his early years.Thomas Gainsborough continued to produce accomplished landscapes of great ingenuity throughout his life but apart from the four etchings which he made during the 1850’s, he did not produce any further original prints for around fifteen to twenty years. When he did return to print making he experimented in a variety of media, working mostly in aquatint and soft ground etching. None of his later prints were published in his lifetime.   « Less

Frank Short Turner “Rhrenbreitstein to Coblenz” Mezzotint Joseph Mallord William Turner RA (April 23, 1775 — December 19, 1851) was an English Romantic landscape painter, water colorist and printmaker. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, but is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivaling history painting. Although renowned for his oil paintings, Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolor landscape painting. He is commonly known as “the painter of light” and his work regarded as a Romantic preface to impressionism. Frank Short (1857—1945) had a major influence on his contemporaries and pupils at the Royal College of Art. His pupils there included Martin Hardie, etcher, watercolorist, author and scholar. Short revived the techniques of mezzotint and aquatint; he had a wide knowledge and skill in print-making and was largely responsible for the technical excellence of British print-making between the first and second world wars.

Short’s atmospheric Nocturnes are the most obvious example of Whistler’s influence on Short. Short worked with Whistler occasionally on printing his copperplates. Whistler, in his turn, respected him as a print-maker.
His collection included proofs by Haden, Whistler, Legros, and Samuel Palmer. “Rhrenbreitstein” (after the watercolor by J.W.M. Turner). Mezzotint engraved by Frank Short. The Image measures 10.50 by 7 inches; plate-mark is printed on Vellum Parchment wove paper. Published in the Portfolio. London, 1891.   « Less
