A fine copy of this excellent late example of the racing aquatint. The heyday of the racing aquatint in Britain was probably about 1830, but the present example shows that the art had not died out, even sixty years later. The print is unfortunately unsigned, but, aside from the process used, the style of painting is charming and recalls the work of John Frederick Herring and his contemporaries. Item #5166
