Lower half of the plate issued in 'Songs of Shakespeare, illustrated by the Etching Club' 1863. Charles West Cope (1811-1890) was the leader of the Etching Club from its foundation, and probably the best etcher among its members. He was conscientious and industrious, and worked at improving his plates. Known to his contemporaries as the Poet-Laureate of the Nursery, his etching served as a contrast to the high-mindedly historical frescoes he painted to decorate the palace of Westminster. He was on the council of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers. Condition: slight foxing to margins and trimmed within plate however not affecting image. |
