Henry Clarence Whaite
English Antique Woodcut Engraving, Inscribed, of Bunyan Hymn

Circa 1920-1930

About the Item

Woodcut Engraving of John Bunyan's hymn "Who Would True Valour See" with a decorative surround frieze of images, of knights, animals, angels etc by Henry Clarence Whaite (British 1895-1978) on thin wove paper inscribed in pencil to lower right margin in Whaite's handwriting "1st impression by hand" measurements: of the wove sheet 10.5 x 7.5 inches Condition report: In fair condition for such fragile paper, creases and folds to edges and corners, printed image remains sharp and clean. This would frame very nicely. Super example of Whaite's work, and one of several we are currently working on from a small collection of his woodcuts. Henry Clarence Whaite (1895-1978) was a cousin to the first Henry Clarence Whaite (1828-1912), a most respected landscape painter and contemporary of Turner. The later Mr Whaite, whose work we are featuring, studied under Henry Tonks at the Slade School of Fine Art London, and exhibited at the New English Arts Club and the London Group. Whaite became a teacher of art, and also produced his own paintings and engravings. His woodcuttings are considered to be amongst his most accomplished work.
