About the Item
Mezzotint after J.M.W. Turner, Signed in pencil. Ref: Hardie 58.
This seascape is one of Frank Short’s finest mezzotint works after J.M.W. Turner. This comparatively large mezzotint was made as an independent plate and not as part of a series. Not only was Frank Short a master in the medium of mezzotint, he also worked to document the practice and pass on the knowledge. He revived the practices of mezzotint and aquatint engraving, and wrote about printmaking to educate a wider public.

Sir Frank Short
Sir Francis Job "Frank" Short PPRE (19 June 1857 - 22 April 1945) was a British printmaker and teacher of printmaking. He revived the practices of mezzotint and pure aquatint while expanding the expressive power of line in drypoint etching and engraving. Short also wrote about printmaking to educate a wider public and was President of the Royal Society of Painter Etcher & Engravers (now styled the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers) from 1910 to 1938. Short was elected to the Royal Academy in 1911, the same year he was knighted, and served as the R.A.'s Treasurer from 1919-1932. He was also President of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Head of the Engraving School of the Royal College of Art, where he taught from 1891-1924.
