About the Item
Etching on laid paper
Signed in plate lower left: Léo Drouyn
Published by Cadart & Luquet, Éditeurs, 79 Rue Richelieu, Paris
With the blindstamp of the Société des Aquafortistes, lower margin
In Habitation dans les Landes (“Dwelling in the Landes”), Léo Drouyn offers a masterful study of rural France, depicting a thatched timber house nestled amid the pine forests and marshy plains of the Landes region in southwestern France. Smoke curls gently from the chimney as figures move about their daily routines, bringing human warmth to an otherwise untamed natural landscape.
Drouyn’s refined etching technique — characterized by crisp linear articulation and subtle gradations of texture — captures both the rustic simplicity of the architecture and the vast, moody atmosphere of the land. His careful rendering of foliage and sky demonstrates the precision of an archaeologist and the poetry of a landscape painter, reflecting the artist’s dual training as both draftsman and historian.
Very fine impression with full margins; faint age toning and minor scattered foxing, otherwise pristine.
A painter, architect, and printmaker from Bordeaux, Léo Drouyn devoted much of his artistic life to documenting the architecture and landscapes of Aquitaine. A member of the Société des Aquafortistes, he contributed to the 19th-century revival of original etching as a medium for artistic expression. Habitation dans les Landes exemplifies his romantic realism and his fascination with the harmony between man and nature, rendered with quiet dignity and evocative precision.

Alington in Wiltshire (The First Swallow).
By Robin Tanner
Located in Storrs, CT
Alington in Wiltshire (The First Swallow). 1927. Etching. Garton 2.iv. 6 3/4 x 8 7/8 (sheet 10 1/2 x 13 1/2). Final state published by in an editon of 12 by Garton & Cooke in 1982 (Nicolson published an edition of 40 in 1927). In states iii and iv, the swallow of the title was removed. In state iv, the sky was re-etched and the cross-hatching was slightly finer. Signed in pencil.
Garton writes, page 11: "The design was based on the Anglican chapel-of-ease is the farmyard of Bulisge at Allinston near Chippenham....The print was originally entitled The First Swallow, but the swallow was burnished out before the 1927 edition....Fifty years later new work was effected in the worn-out areas of the sky and distance to produce prints which, in his opinion, were better than those of the original edition."
Robin Tanner was an English artist, etcher, and printmaker. He followed the visionary tradition of Samuel Palmer and English neo-romanticism. His etchings began following night-school classes at Goldsmiths College, London. He had been inspired by the major Samuel Palmer retrospective exhibition organized by Martin Hardie...
