Outstanding signed proof impression with exceptional clarity of line. Scarce.
William Wilson’s superb line engravings display both outstanding draughtsmanship and a highly distinctive style influenced by the engravings of Jean-Émile Laboureur and the work of Stanley Spencer (which Wilson much admired). William Wilson travelled throughout Europe at every opportunity, finding subjects such as the Zoological Gardens entrance at Nürnberg, for his plates - Tiergartner Tor, Nürnberg is a particularly striking example of his scarce earlier work.
On fine white wove paper, with full margins and deckle edge. Very fine condition. |
