Signed","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a most sought-after etching and drypoint by the celebrated marine artist, William Lionel Wyllie.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWyllie was born in London in 1851. He studied at the Royal Academy Schools (1866-69), where he won the Turner Medal in his final year. He worked as a marine illustrator for the Graphic between 1870 and 1890. He was Marine Painter to the Royal Yacht Squadron and the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, and did much work, including posters, for the Orient Company, the White Star Line, and the Union Castle Line.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween 1924 and 1930 he worked on a fabulous panoramic oil painting depicting the Battle of Trafalgar for the Victory Museum, Portsmouth. He produced this set of three etchings at this time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis beautifully rendered etching and drypoint is one of three prints that he produced that depicted the action at the Battle of Trafalgar. All hung together the set would form an almost panoramic view of the battle as envisaged by Wyllie. I had another section from the triptych in my store - this has now been sold.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe etching is pencil-signed by the artist,  lower left.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is NOT a reproduction and original signed impressions of it are rare, especially in such a fine condition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you can see from my images - it is a fine impression with rich dark tones and velvety burr to the drypoint. It is in fine condition with no issues and recently re-mounted in a new acid-free mount to museum standards. It has also been re-framed with a nice simple black moulding - and glass cover. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy price for this most sought-after Wyllie etching is a very fair one,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePostage will be with Parcelforce24.
