FRANCIS SEYMOUR HADEN (after J. M. W. Turner)
Calais Pier.

Etching and drypoint, 1874. 597x838 mm; 23 1/2x33 inches, wide margins. Fifth state (of 12). Signed in pencil, lower right. A superb, well-inked impression of this very large, scarce etching.

Haden's largest and most technically complex etching. The artist had a new intaglio press specially made to accomodate the scale of this etching. Schneiderman 141.
