Goudhurst, Kent Arthur Ditchfield (1842-1888) is now almost entirely forgotten, his etchings largely undocumented. One of the things to note about him is his sketching trip with Ruskin and Hercules Brabazon to Amiens in 1880. He was obviously a conscientious craftsman, for he noted on many of his works who had printed them. It is worth comparing impressions by Goulding, Holdgate or Ditchfield himself. He made at least 77 etchings, a set of which were presented to the British Museum by his sister, Mrs J.L. Roget, with a manuscript listing. His training is unknown - his drawings are not of "The English School". It was probably Parisian, for the influence of Applan is evident and to a lesser extent that of Lalanne. |
