A back street with a passage way beneath the row of houses Fine quality work showing the back area of a group of houses. The work was produced from a prepared copper plate that the artist would carry around until the right scene materialised. He then worked the waxed plate on the spot, taking it back to the studio for printing. We would refer you to the Glossary for a detailed description of the process of etching. The work is full of finely observed detail accentuated by hatching and the use of tone to indicate shadows as seen from the wooden fence. The etching is initialled in the plate and has full margins
