A Roman Canal
Etching, 1904 , 169 x 380 mm., Hardie 82 proof before i/ii. Fine impression on laid paper with full margins, signed in pencil. This is an early proof in pure etching of the preceding print, one of a few such proofs before the first state mentioned by Hardie. The shield signature (visible here at the far left) disappears in the mezzotinted state. The impression is a demonstration of how Short generally approached the mezzotint technique, etching in the basic composition before treating the plate with the mezzotint rocker, thus giving himself an outline to work with which would essentially disappear in the completed plate.
