Original etchings / by Sir George Hayter, historical and portrait painter to His Majesty the King of Belgium, and member of the Academy of Rome, Florence, Bologna, Parma and Venice : forty-six etchings
A set of forty-six original etchings by Sir George Hayter, a London painter working for the King of Belgium, published in London in 1879 by James Rimell and Son. The plates are loose, sketchy studies of classical and dramatic scenes, many with figures tumbling through clouds or resting in landscape, and a designer could draw on their open hatching and pale tonal washes for quiet, old-fashioned narrative imagery.
