Artwork Description:

Title is Leas Grave in Octobers Dusky Light, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Etching techniques included Intaglio, Aquatint, and Drypoint. I photographed this image in 1976 while visiting the Lauren Hill cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, a popular picnicking area during the Victoria Era. Henry Charles was a noted U. S. Historian and Writer. One zinc plate that measured 6 inches wide by 9 inches high, or 15.240cm by 22.860cm, was used. Print measures 11 inches wide by 15 inches high. Media included BLACK Charbonnel brand oil based ink from Paris, France and RivesBFK white paper. Please note that this etching is shipped to the collector without a frame or mat. This keeps the price low and allows the collector personal choice in matt selection and framing. A sturdy cardboard box is employed for shipping the work. The etching is first wrapped in two layers of acid free glassine and then placed between two archival boards. This is next placed into the shipping carton and securely packed with bubble wrap. The Absolute Arts Dot Com price includes all handling costs, shipment supplies, and the coast of the shipment box. Mailing costs are added.
