Title:	Norman Gateway, Bury St. Edmunds
Artist:	Sweet, Dorothy (London, active, 1920 - 1929)
Date:	C. 1929
Medium:	Original Etching & Aquatint Printed in Colour
	Dorothy Sweet: A talented English engraver and etcher of landscapes and architectural views, Dorothy Sweet first began to exhibit her art in the early 1920's with the Abbey Gallery, London, and with the Society of Women Artists. The majority of her art depicted scenes in and around the London area. She was equally skilled at dry point engraving, etching and colour printmaking.
	"Norman Gateway, Bury St. Edmunds" is an outstanding example of Sweet's artistic work. Aquatinting is extensively used to create rich tonal areas throughout the composition, while blues, greens and rust colours aid in building sharp contrasts of light and shade.
	Most of Dorothy Sweet’s original colour prints date from the last years of the 1920’s decade. As the printing methods were both complex and expensive for these prints, very small editions were published. It is believed that with the beginning of the Great Depression in 1930, Dorothy Sweet, like so many other talented artists, was forced to abondon her career.
