Etching on laid paper
Signed in plate lower right: A. Mathieu 1864
Published by Cadart
Luquet, Éditeurs, 79 Rue Richelieu, Paris
With the blindstamp of the Société des Aquafortistes, lower margin
In Les vieux ormes du champ du puits à Marzy (“The Old Elms of the Well Field at Marzy”), Auguste Mathieu depicts a tranquil rural landscape marked by the solemn grandeur of two ancient elm trees. Beneath their vast, timeworn branches, women and children pause to rest, while in the distance, a farmer guides his oxen along a sunlit path. The composition blends human presence and natural monumentality in perfect balance — an ode to the serene rhythms of provincial life.
Mathieu’s etching demonstrates both technical mastery and poetic sensibility. His meticulous linework captures the intricate textures of bark, foliage, and ground, while his subtle modulation of light creates an atmosphere of pastoral intimacy. The scene evokes the enduring beauty of the French countryside, rendered with sincerity and restraint, in keeping with the spirit of the Société des Aquafortistes — whose mission was to reassert etching as a refined, expressive medium.
Excellent impression on laid paper, with full margins. Very minor toning at edges, otherwise pristine.
A member of the Société des Aquafortistes, Auguste Mathieu was among the circle of French etchers who, under the direction of Cadart
Luquet, revived the art of the original print during the Second Empire. His landscapes, often drawn from life, reflect a quiet realism imbued with warmth and sentiment. Les vieux ormes du champ du puits à Marzy stands as a graceful example of his ability to marry topographical truth with poetic expression.

Alington in Wiltshire (The First Swallow).
By Robin Tanner
Located in Storrs, CT
Alington in Wiltshire (The First Swallow). 1927. Etching. Garton 2.iv. 6 3/4 x 8 7/8 (sheet 10 1/2 x 13 1/2). Final state published by in an editon of 12 by Garton & Cooke in 1982 (Nicolson published an edition of 40 in 1927). In states iii and iv, the swallow of the title was removed. In state iv, the sky was re-etched and the cross-hatching was slightly finer. Signed in pencil.
Garton writes, page 11: "The design was based on the Anglican chapel-of-ease is the farmyard of Bulisge at Allinston near Chippenham....The print was originally entitled The First Swallow, but the swallow was burnished out before the 1927 edition....Fifty years later new work was effected in the worn-out areas of the sky and distance to produce prints which, in his opinion, were better than those of the original edition."
Robin Tanner was an English artist, etcher, and printmaker. He followed the visionary tradition of Samuel Palmer and English neo-romanticism. His etchings began following night-school classes at Goldsmiths College, London. He had been inspired by the major Samuel Palmer retrospective exhibition organized by Martin Hardie...
