Sir Frank Short Landscape Prints
British, 1857-1945
Sir Francis Job "Frank" Short PPRE (19 June 1857 - 22 April 1945) was a British printmaker and teacher of printmaking. He revived the practices of mezzotint and pure aquatint while expanding the expressive power of line in drypoint etching and engraving. Short also wrote about printmaking to educate a wider public and was President of the Royal Society of Painter Etcher & Engravers (now styled the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers) from 1910 to 1938. Short was elected to the Royal Academy in 1911, the same year he was knighted, and served as the R.A.'s Treasurer from 1919-1932. He was also President of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Head of the Engraving School of the Royal College of Art, where he taught from 1891-1924.to

By Sir Frank Short
Located in Storrs, CT
Orion over the Thames at Ranelagh. 1914. Mezzotint. Hardie 124. mage 11 x 16 (sheet 13 1/2 x 18 3/4). A rich, atmospheric impression printed on white wove paper with wide margins. This is one of Short's finest original mezzotints. Signed in pencil. Housed in a 20 x 24-inch archival mat
Hardie writes, page 41: "A bend of the river, with massive trees on the right; a star-lit sky with the constellation Orion to the right; Putney Bridge and Church, with lights on the bridge and riverbank reflecting in the still water. Signed in pencil. Housed in a 20 x 24-inch archival mat.
Orion is clearly visible in the night sky from November to February. Orion is in the southwestern sky if you are in the Northern Hemisphere or the northwestern sky if you are in the Southern Hemisphere. It is best seen between latitudes 85 and minus 75 degrees. Its right ascension is 5 hours, and its declination is 5 degrees.
Alnilam, Mintaka and Alnitak, which form Orion’s belt, are the most prominent stars in the Orion constellation. Betelgeuse, the second brightest star in Orion, establishes the right shoulder of the hunter. Bellatrix serves as Orion's left shoulder.
