Note: Short originally trained as an engineer before pursuing a career as an artist after studying in London at South Kensington and the Westminster Schools of Art. He is best known as a master print maker specialising in mezzotint, aquatint and etching. He was however a gifted watercolourist, particularly later in life and the subject work probably dates from the period 1920-30. He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1885 and 1904. He won two gold medals for engraving at the Paris Salon in 1889 and 1900. Soon after this he became a teacher of etching and was professor of engraving at the Royal College of Art between 1913 and 1924.

Tomoi Yokai, mezzotint, "Apple and Cup". 22.5 cm x 20 cm, 100/100, signed, framed. CONDITION REPORT: The mezzotint is in generally good condition. There is one small issue. It is slightly undulating and in our opinion requires remounting. The current mount has some water damage. The water damage is in the form of a wavy brown line that just clips the bottom left hand corner of the print. This is very faint and in our opinion not a significant issue. Remounting with a slightly tighter mount would cover the problem. The print itself is in very good condition. The colours are crisp. Other than the slight marks referred to there is no discolouration to either the picture or the margin. There are no tears, creases or holes.

After J M W Turner (British, 1775-1851)PROCRIS AND CEPHALUSEtching with mezzotint, 1812, the edition was 200, from the 'Liber Studiorum' portfolio, drawn and etched by the artist, engraved by George Clint, on wove paper, with full marginsimage 18.5 x 26.5cm, framedThe Liber Studiorum, must still rank as one of the greatest sets of mezzotint engravings ever produced. Turner drew and etched the outlines directly on to copper plates which he then passed to an engraver who filled in the etched outlines with mezzotint.

A copy of this portfolio is in the Tate collection.
