This is one of a selection of  etchings by William Walcot that I am listing from my own personal collection.  

Each etching is pencil signed, in excellent antique condition, and beautifully presented. 

This very wonderful etching that dates 1918 and to the end of WWI. It shows the Firth of Forth and the span of the cantilever Forth Rail Bridge crossing the water. In the foreground we can see Rosyth Docks - and in the Firth was see lots of battleships, frigates and cruisers travelling up and down the inlet.  There are a three barage balloons in the sky and also a bi-plane - which has just nipped under the left-hand span of the bridge.  It comes from an edition of 100 impressions.

Rosyth Dockyard, on the north side of the Firth of Forth in Scotland, was first built as a navel base for World War I battleships. The British Grand Fleet was based at Scapa Flow at the beginning of WW1. The battle-cruisers later moved to Rosyth in December 1915, but it took until April 1918 to make the estuary safe enough for the rest of the Fleet to join them. This is the event shown in Walcot's etching. 

The Forth Rail Bridge is a Scottish icon and is probably the world's most famous Catilever Bridge.  In July 2015, UNESCO inscribed the Forth Bridge as the sixth World Heritage Site in Scotland.

It is framed with a decorative vintage gold frame. This measures 35.5 x 42 cm. The image is 13.5 x 22.5 cm and is pencil signed.

A particularly fine and interesting war time print by this celebrated printmaker and in such fine condition. It looks at Scottish Naval History.
