Published by Macmillan, London 1880 in "Etching and Etchers" by Philip Gilbert Hamerton

A finely crafted original 19th century etching of a retailer scene on the banks of the River Medway, Kent, England, probably at East Farleigh?

An attractive view with sailing barges pulled up on the river banks at low tide.

Fine, clean condition, free of repairs or restoration.

A crisp, dark impression printed on robust heavy grade wove paper, blank verso.

Approx. 9" x 7.5" (230mm x 185mm) printed area only with good margins beyond.

Richard Samuel Chattock (1825-1926) hailed from Solihull, England and the industrial landscape of the neighbouring Black Country

was a favoured subject. He also recorded many glimpses of 19th century England around the Midlands and the south of the country.

He was a member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers and exhibited regularly at the Royal Acadamy of Arts.
