This is a very fine 1920s drypoint etching by the celebrated British printmaker, Stanley Anderson.
It is an original fine art etching and drypoint- and is pencil signed in the margin below the image. It was published in 1927 and shows the town of Albi. This picturesque French town is on the River Tarn and long been associated with artists. It was the birthplace of Toulouse-Lautrec and is now home to the museum in his memory. During the Etching Revival many British artists visited Albi and the town remains a draw for tourists today.
My artwork shows the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, Albi perched high on a rocky peak above the River Tarn. In the foreground is the Old Bridge. It is one of the old bridges of medieval origin still in use today. I love how Anderson has included lots of tiny peope in the scene to give a sense of the massive size of the town's medieval architecture.
This fine print comes from a very small edition of only 80 signed proof impressions. The mount size is 40 x 41 cm. The image size is 28 x 30.5 cm.
It is in excellent condition and is beautifully presented with a fresh window mount - it is not framed - but can easily be popped into your local framer and you can select a frame of your choice.
It is simply a really beautiful impression with rich velvety drypoint tones and no condition issues.
