Cottage and Harvesters
Mezzotint, 1907, 169 x 276 mm., Hardie 88. Fine impression on chine-appliqué with large margins, signed in pencil and from an edition of 100 impressions. The work is after a watercolor by De Wint in the Tate Gallery. Although clearly achieved through mezzotint technique (the rocker grain is evident throughout the plate), Short has given something of the look of aquatint to this plate, moving from dark to light mostly in steps rather than continuous gradation. The reason has to do with De Wint’s original watercolor in which the colors have also been applied, for the most part, in gradated steps of darkness, clearly emphasizing the nature of the technique and De Wint’s use of it.
