Signed in pencil An atmospheric view of the ornate archway at the back of of Canterbury Quad. Albany E. Howarth was born in Durham in 1872 where he continued to reside for most of his life. An early twentieth century English architectural and landscape etcher and water-colourist, Albany Howarth first worked as a drawing apprentice in the office of Armstrong Whitworth. Beginning around 1905 he emerged as a major etcher and frequently exhibited at such major venues as the Fine Arts Society, the Royal Academy and with the Royal Engravers. Howarth was elected an Associate of the Royal Engravers in 1920. During his career Albany Howarth etched many great architectural views in England, Italy and France. His views of the Oxford Colleges combine etching with dry point to achieve strong tonal effects. Like William Nicholson, Howarth's works are not only concerned with the strong architectural features of his chosen subjects but also the play of light upon them. Many of Howarth's etchings produced in the 1920's were published by the Fine Art Trade Guild, London, in editions of 150 signed impressions Howarth died in Watford in 1936. |
