A Roman Canal
Etching and mezzotint, 1904, 169 x 380 mm., Hardie 82 ii/ii. Fine impression in black on chine-appliqué with large margins, signed in pencil; a small brown spot in the sky at the right and a very pale water stain (?) at the far left. The scene depicts the loading of a barge from a hay wagon on the “roman canal.” and is said by Hardie to be after a watercolor by De Wint in the Victoria and Albert Museum, although it does not actually appear to be there, and there is an oil painting of that composition in the Tate Gallery. Despite the title, the scene is not in the Roman Campagna but in East Anglia, or nearby Lincolnshire, which is crossed by a series of canals and small rivers.
