Gravure. 55 x 42 cm. Half-length classical maidens crowned with wreaths, mixed-method engravings ("Herkomergravure"), [1896], [Fine Art Society], Ivy signed in the plate, upper right, each c. 510 x 410 mm. (20 x 16 1/4 in). An example of the inventive printing technique explored by Sir Hubert von Herkomer, R. A. (1849-1914), usually in collaboration with Norman Hirst (1862-c.1955). This involved creating a monotype by applying ink by hand to a lithographic stone, then producing a photogravure of the result. This he dubbed a Herkomergravure. It could then be enhanced with additional mezzotint or etching to give definition to surfaces and outlines, but the overall result remains very free and spontaneous. Condition report: Both laid down onto paper support, with some surface dirt, glue and damp-stains in margins. Clematis has some exposure lines and surface abrasion and marks on picture.
