This is an early work by the celebrated Scottish printmaker, Sir David Young Cameron (1865 - 1945).
Sir David Young Cameron is regarded as one of the great masters of landscape and architectural etching and was considered a leading light in the British ‘Etching Revival’. Over his 45 year career as a printmaker, from 1887 to 1932, he produced over 500 etchings and drypoints. His works can be found in museum collections worldwide including the Tate Gallery, British Museum, National Gallery of Scotland, National Gallery of Canada, and Art Institute of Chicago.
This etching was made in 1904 and was steel faced so that it could be published in the first edition of "The Artist Engraver" in 1904. This is State II and it is catalogued in Rinder as No. 359.
It is a harder to find work - and there is an impression currently on loan to the National Gallery of Scotland.
This print shows the village of Le Grand Andely in Normandy. It shows the main street of the village with its ramshackle houses. He has added a couple of people to the scene to give a feeling of scale.
This work was not issued as a limited edition - and is therefore not pencil signed. It does however that an etching inscription upper left.
