Shipping at the Entrance of the Medway, No. 2
Soft-ground etching and mezzotint, 1896, 236 x 309 mm., Hardie 44 published state. Fine impression in brown on textured wove paper with large, full margins, signed in pencil. Short’s first attempt at this subject was abandoned after a few trial proofs were made and he was far happier with this second version. The mezzotint successfully captures the movement of the water and the flecks of foam as well as the clouds in the wind-blown sky. There is none of the rigid quality of so many early mezzotints.
