Medium:	Original Etching

Note:	Joseph Clark : A Victorian era and early twentieth century painter and etcher, Joseph Clark studied art techniques at J. M. Leigh's School and at the Royal Academy Schools. Clark began exhibiting his art at the Royal Academy in 1857 and was an annual contributor there and at the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours until 1925 -- thus constituting a lengthy exhibition history of sixty-eight years. Many of his paintings were very popular and were thus engraved by other hands. Joseph Clark, himself created several original etchings based upon his canvases. These included, Hagar and Ishmael and The Sick Child.
	The art of Joseph Clark was also exhibited in the United States. In 1876 he received both and award and a medal from the city of Philadelphia. Joseph Clark was a full member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Oils (ROI). Today his art will be found in such major British collections as The Athenaeum, the Tate and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
	Joseph Clark was a full member of the Junior Etching Club (1857-1864), an institution that greatly contributed to the revival of etching in England. Other members included the British artists, Sir John Everett Millais, Sir Francis Powell, Henry Moore, Charles Keene, Matthew James Lawless, Walter Severn, Henry Stacy Marks, Frederick Smallfield, William Gale, Henry Clarence Whaite and James McNeill Whistler. The Junior Etching Club often published their members’ etchings and the above artists all contributed to their most important portfolio, Passages from Modern English Poets, printed and published during the years 1861 and 1862. Clark produced two original etchings for the publication, Hagar and Ishmael and The Village Grandame.
	Joseph Clark's original etching entitled, Hagar and Ishmael is based upon his painting of the same title which the artist exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1860. Famous throughout his long career for his depictions of childhood, Hagar and Ishmael shows Clark's talents in the field of religious art. When the etching was published in 1862 it was accompanied by the poem, Hagar and Ishmael, by Mary Tighe. The opening stanzas are quoted below. "Injured, hopeless, faint and weary, Sad, indignant, and forlorn, Through the desert wild and dreary, Hagar leads the child of scorn. Who can speak a mother's anguish, Painted in that tearless eye, Which beholds her darling languish,- Languish, unrelieved and die? Lo! the empty pitcher fails her, Perishing with thirst he lies; Death with deep despair assails her, Piteously for aid he cries. From the dreadful image flying, Wild she rushes from the sight; In the agonies of dying Can she see her soul's delight. Now bereft of every hope, Cast upon the burning ground Poor abandoned soul, look up, Mercy have thy sorrows found! .. " *Mary Tighe
	Mary Tighe (1772-1810): Born in Dublin, Ireland, Mary Tighe, daughter of William Blachford, is also known as Mrs. Henry Tighe. A writer of mostly sonnets and poetry of the British Romantic period. Mary Tighe's first published work was the six-canto allegorical poem in Spenserian stanzas entitled, "Psyche; or, the Legend of Love", along with some of her shorter poems published in a small edition by Carpenter in 1805. Although her work was not well known to the public during her life, due to its lack of publication, it was indubitably acknowledged after her death. Mary Tighe died in Wicklow, Ireland, at the age of thirty eight in 1810. As a tribute to Mary Tighe, the author and poet, Felicia Hemans's wrote, "The Grave of a Poetess". Other works written by Mary Tighe include, "Selma" an unpublished novel, "The Lily", "To My Mother", "Forget me not", "Sweet tear of hope, delicious tear:, and many other memorable sonnets and poems. This original etching entitled, Hagar and Ishmael illustrates a poem of the same title by Mary Tighe. In 1811, a year after her death the book entitled, "Mary: a Series of Reflections during 20 Years" was privately published, only two copies are known to exist; they are held at the Houghton Library, Harvard and the National Library of Ireland. That same year, "Psyche, with Other Poems by the late Mrs. Henry Tighe" (2nd, & 3rd editions (1811), a 4th edition (1812), & a 5th edition (1816) were printed by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, Paternoster-Row. Note: There are many very good books that contain historical and biographical information about the life and works of Mary Tighe, one to consider is the book entitled, "Mary Blachford Tighe: The Irish Psyche" by Averill Buchanan, Cambridge Scholars publishing, first published in 2011. Also, the Sheffield Hallam University, "Corvey Women Writers 1796-1834 CW3 on the web Journal" includes a detailed account of the various publications of the works of Mary Tighe. This can be viewed at (www2.shu.ac.uk/convey/cw3journal/issue%20two/maryTighebib.hem).
