“The Street,” Whitstable
Etching, 1910, 243 x 340 mm., Hardie 348. Very fine impression, with light plate tone, printed on thick, cream wove paper with full margins, signed in pencil; two short tears and some thin areas at the sheet edges, far outside the platemark. “The Street” is a natural shoal of rocks and stones at Whitstable, a seaside town in north Kent in south-east England, which is visible only at low tide and zig-zags out to sea for about half a mile. Short uses it, expectedly, as a definer of spatial depth, accentuating the foreground with bathing machines and strewing shrimpers across the shallow waters. The bathing machines have apparently vanished today, but “the Street”is still there and Whitstable is still renowned for its shellfish.
