| Notes |
A small, and quickly executed etching of Mont St Michel, a subject that Haig visited on more than one occasion. Axel Haig R.E., (10 November 1835 – 1921) a Swede, who came to etching from architectural drawing specifically naval architecture. His earliest etchings showed the omission of the inessential, the hallmark of the new etchers but he soon found his feet making etchings suitable to be framed and put on the walls as rivals to paintings. His technique was different: look closely at a Haig Cathedral interior and you see a confused melee of lines, step back and you get the authentic gloom of the Middle Ages.
