He worked throughout England, Scotland, France and Italy and is now mostly remembered mainly as an etcher of architectural subjects. He lived in Didsbury in the early 1890s while working as an editor and illustrator for The Daily Chronicle in Manchester. He moved to Shottermill, Surrey around 1898 and he spent his later life living at Haslemere. Fitton worked mainly in printmaking throughout his career. He eventually settled in Surrey and died there aged 72. He exhibited his work at the Royal Academy of London*, Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers*, R.W.A. and at the Paris Salon*. He became an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers in 1903 and a full member in 1908. Hedley Fitton died on the 19th of July, 1929. Bio Sourced from the Archives of AskArt.

Located in Middletown, NY
Etching and engraving with hand coloring in watercolor on cream laid paper. 6 3/4 X 9 5/8 inches (170 x 244 mm), margins trimmed, image intact. Rubbing in the lower left image area obscuring the publishing information (which reads Published by Mm. Darchery, St. James Street March 11, 1783), scattered light foxing, corner loss, top left corner, well outside of image area. "SMP" collector's stamp in red ink on the verso (not in Lugt), and the name "Renier" and the initials "AR" in black ink on the verso. Colors are extremely fresh. Impressions of this work may be found in the permanent collection of the British Museum, and the Yale Center for British Art. Ex-Collection of Anne & Ferdinand Gabriel (F.G.) Renier, reknowned for their inspriational collection of children's books and works on paper, now housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum. _____ The devil officiates at the wedding of Tory Lord North, and Charles James Fox, the Whig statesman whose career spanned almost four decades in Parliament. The satirical scene is the signing of the Fox-North coalition, which was a short-lived partnership the two formed while combining forces in the House of Commons to oust then Prime Minister William Petty, Earl of Shelburne. Fox had fallen out of favor with the Irish born Shelburne, also a Whig, whose ministry remained in power just long enough to see the American War of Independence...
