1917
About the Item
St. Botolph's Bridge (No. 1). 1917. Etching. Comstock catalog 19 state iv. 5 3/4 x 4 1/2 (sheet 9 3/8 x 8 5/8). Edition 50 in this state (total 70 proofs in 4 states.) A rich impression with plate tone printed on 'KF' laid paper. Signed and annotated 'imp' in pencil, indicating a proof printed by the artist. Housed in an elegant 18 1/4 x 12 1/8-inch gold leaf frame.
Comstock writes: 'The title of this plate comes of course from the implied dedication of the chapel (which would give such a bridge its name) to St. Botolph, the East Anglian Benedictine Abbot, and patron of travelers in the Middle Ages. The scene suggests the watch of the Church over the doings of men and the nature of travel in mediaeval England -- slow and difficult and sometimes dangerous -- through a landscape of almost unimaginable beauty. Stormy seasons would have cast the stones and boulders about the foundations of the chapel (perhaps one may read an allegory here), and have inspired some pious mason to the roughly cut inscription, the 11th and 12th verses of the 91st Psalm:
Quoniam angelis suis mandauir de te ut custodiant te in omnibus uiis tuis.
In manibus portabunt te ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
'For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.'

- Mytton HallBy Sir Francis Seymour Haden, R.A.Located in Storrs, CTMytton Hall. 1859. Etching and drypoint. Schneiderman catalog 19 state .iii/v. 4 13/16 x 10 5/16 (sheet 5 3/4 x 10 15/16). As published in Études à l'eau-forte XXIV. Illustrated: Guichard, British Etchers, 1850-1940. An extremely rich impression printed on fine laid paper. Signed in the plate. Housed in a 16 x 20-inch archival mat. Mytton Hall is a fifteenth century mansion house situated on the River Ribble, at Whalley near Blackburn, Lancashire. Haden used to stay there when he went salmon fishing. R. Gutekunst, the dealer who inherited the rights to sell all of Francis Seymour Haden's remaining prints upon his death, noted on the front of his catalogue in July 1911: "It may be useful to add that those impressions of Sir Seymour Haden's early and rare etchings, which were published in portfolio form in Paris in 1865-66, under the title Études à l'eau-forte have, with the exception of one or two sets, never been signed in autograph by Sir Seymour, and do not, of course, bear any stamp of any kind." Although Gutekunst had impressions of the majority of Haden's works for sale, he had no remaining impressions of Mytton Hall. Henry Taylor...Category
