Grimsby docks F Appleyard
Fred Appleyard

approx. exposed area of image inside frame
11in h x 8in w
etching on paper

£140 framed

Item number 1775

A very interesting and historic work showing Grimsby docks with a ship moored and a tower in the background. This picture was produced on the spot from a prepared copper plate that was etched and taken back to the studio for printing. There is a great immediacy about this work and an economy of detail that highlights the important features in this etching. We would refer you to the Glossary for a detailed description of the process of etching. A fine work with extensive areas of bare plate giving good shadows and contrast. The work is signed in the plate and in pencil in the margin.

Edward Brannan was a friend of Fred Appleyard and they worked together producing etchings of similar subject matter. This work was given by Appleyard to his friend Brannan in the 1920's.
