Buhot, Petite Marine

Petite Marine, Souvenir de Medway (Little Seascape, a Remembrance of the Medway)

Etching, drypoint, false biting, aquatint and stop-out, 1879, B/G 153 vi/vi. Very fine impression of the completed state on thick laid paper with full margins and signed with the red owl stamp within the image at the lower right. The lines in the sky have been burnished or covered with aquatint, as have both the water and the terrain. Stop out has been used on the water, and in a few spots on the land, to show reflected light. The composition is essentially the same, but the light and atmosphere have totally changed and we are dealing with two different pictures of the scene. This is why it is so fascinating to own more than a single state of a Buhot image.
