Title:	By The River's Bank
Artist:	Burgess, William Walter (Southampton, 1856 - London, 1908)
Date:	1896
Medium:	Original Etching on Vellum
Publisher:	C. E. Clifford & Company, London
Note:	William Walter Burgess: One of the finest British etchers of late nineteenth century landscapes and architectural views, the art of William Walter Burgess marks a rich continuation of the English pastoral tradition. Hailed as one of the most charming etchers of "the old school"*, Burgess was a traditional artist who deliberately avoided impressionistic and post-impressionistic methods. Instead one can detect strains of Samuel Palmer and Seymour Haden in Burgess's etched art, yet his rich handling of tone, depth and detail is all his own.
	During the early 1880's William Walter Burgess contributed a number of landscape etchings to arts periodicals such as "The Etcher", and, in 1887, his set entitled "Twelve English Cathedrals" was published. His final plates depicted architectural settings in and around London as well as several large landscapes, such as, "By the River's Bank".
	W. W. Burgess annually exhibited his etchings at the Royal Academy from 1874 to 1903. William Walter Burgess was a full member of the Royal Engravers and such major museums as The British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, include his etchings in their permanent collections.
	"By the River's Bank" is deservedly considered as one of the artist's masterworks. This is a proof impression (marked "SP") which has been printed upon an expensive sheet of fine vellum, which creates a rich and luminous texture within the image.
