- About The The Three Sisters State IV
"This and [D] 115 The Herd, [No. 118 here] were done in an old chase in which a hunting ledge which belongs to the Duke of Northumberland, and which before the reform bill returned five members to Parliament. It is one of the finest of our old English parks."
- About Seymour Haden
- (1818-1910, British) Francis Seymour Haden attended a government art training school where he
learned to draw and etch. He was a
surgeon as well as an etcher and collector, having completed his medical
studies at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1838.
After a year of travel in Italy and Switzerland, he took over his late
father’s London medical practice. In 1845 he began to study and collect etchings. By 1858 he was a serious etcher. In 1866 a portfolio of his landscape etchings was published in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts, which brought him international acclaim.
He founded the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers & Engravers in 1880 and campaigned tirelessly for etching to be taken seriously as a medium of creative artistic expression. He was knighted in 1894 for his contribution to art.
