Sir Frank Short Portrait 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
