British Etchers, 1850-1940
London, Robin Garton, 1977.
Large quarto, 84 pages plus 81 pages of plates and 3 original etchings (including the title leaf, each with a loose tissue-guard).
Quarter blue morocco and light brown buckram, top edge gilt; bottom corners slightly bumped; spine lightly sunned; essentially a fine copy.
The three original etchings by Robin Tanner (all signed in pencil) are 'Wren and Primroses' (a vignette on the title page), 'Full Moon', and 'The Old Road' (both full-page). There is a short chapter on 'The Australian School of Etching' (two pages of text plus 14 illustrations). Loosely inserted is the four-page prospectus for the publisher's companion volume, 'British Printmakers, 1855-1955'; the enclosed newsletter advertising its delayed appearance is dated August 1992.
