Knaresborough
Soft-ground etching and mezzotint, ca. 1904, 188 x 290 mm., Hardie 84. Superb impression in black on chine-appliqué with large margins, signed in pencil. De Wint was one of the greatest English watercolorists of the nineteenth century and Short’s mezzotint is not only a masterful translation of color into black and white, but a magnificent print in itself, showing the possibility, in the right hands, of expressing spontaneity even through the laborious technique of mezzotint. It is, as many of Short’s works are, essentially a redefinition of the medium. Knaresborough and its ruined castle and the river Nidd, are in Yorkshire in the north of England.
