This is an etching by the celebrated Scottish printmaker, Ernest Stephen Lumsden.

He was a gifted printmaker and painter and was largely self-taught as an etcher.

His earliest etched works date to 1902 when the young artist was living in Paris. In 1906 six of his etchings were exhibited at the Society of Painters and Gravers and the following year two more were shown at the Salon in Paris.

By 1908 he had settled in Edinburgh, where he took up a position at the Edinburgh College of Art.

Lumsden was a great traveller and undertook trips to British Columbia in Canada, Japan, Korea, Beijing and Burma. He made a wonderful series of etchings documenting his stay in India - a country he would visit many times.

In 1913 Lumsden married the artist Mabel Royds and the couple travelled on extensive trips together.

 In 1914 Lumsden was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, and in 1924 he published The Art of Etching, which remains a standard work on the subject.

In 1929 he became President of the Society of Artist Printmakers and in 1933 was elected to the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh. 

Works by Lumsden are in the collections of the Tate, the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, amongst others.

An impression of this print is also in the collection of the British Museum. It states that it comes from a small edition of only 50 impressions and from the series entitled: Second Indian Plates.

This etching is an early Indian view by Lumsden and it was made in 1913 while he was on honeymoon. It shows a distant view of the walls of Jodhpur. A city gate is shown to the left of the composition and travellers with their camels gather outside. A tall withered tree is seen to the right-hand side.

The print is titled in the plate: Jodhpur and it is signed lightly in pencil lower centre: Lumsden imp. It is also signed and dated in the plate to the right: Lumsden 1913.

Please also see my colour woodcut by Royds in my shop. 

Dimensions: Frame is 37 x 30 cm and the image is 21 x 14.5 cm 

It is in good condition and is being sold with a simple old black frame. It would probably benefit from a new window mount  - but generally, it is good enough for you to just hang straight on your wall for display.

Given it is a very early work by Lumsden, as well as its relative rarity and its fine condition - it is being sold at a fair price.

It will be sent to you with Royal Mail Special Next Day Delivery post in the UK. This will cost £10 and be applied at the check out stage of your order.
