A limited edition color mezzotint print by John Fullwood, FSA, depicting a traditional English landscape.
46cm W * 58cm H
The work features a thatched cottage nestled among large, leafy trees beside a narrow dirt path. It is executed in the mezzotint technique, displaying characteristic soft tonal gradations and a rich, velvety texture. A clear plate mark is visible around the perimeter of the central image, which is printed on a heavy cream-toned paper.
The print is hand-signed in pencil by the artist "John Fullwood" in the lower right margin, and a corresponding signature is integrated into the plate. The reverse bears an original paper label with a quotation from James Thomson's "An Ode to Summer" and identifies the work as a "Pure Mezzotint" from a limited edition of 275 impressions. It further notes the plate was destroyed. A secondary gallery label for "W. C. Price, The Art Gallery, Croydon" is affixed to the lower edge of the wooden backing. The piece is housed in a decorative gilt frame with foliate corner scrolls and a stepped, multi-line wash mount.
