Particularly fine impression of the completed etching, carefully wiped to produce impressive tonal range.

The tremendously varied use of cross-hatching on J.C. Robinson’s elaborately worked plates is rarely better displayed than in this animated etching of Talavera.

On fibrous Japan-style paper with margins, as prepared by the artist. Very fine original condition.
