Information about the Print
Sunshine and shadow on the West Front of the Abbey
and the distant Victoria Tower of the Houses of
Parliament.
Etchers
such as Mortimer Menpes and Eugène
Béjot, and printer-etcher David Strang,
regularly used paper specially made for them watermarked
with their names.
This is the only example of a Walcot etching on
paper watermarked Walcot that I have ever
encountered.
