About the Item
Etching on laid paper
Signed and dated in plate lower left: P. E. Berthélemy
Published by Cadart
Luquet, Éditeurs, 79 Rue Richelieu, Paris
With the blindstamp of the Société des Aquafortistes, lower margin.
In Entrée du port de Courseulles à marée basse, Pierre-Émile Berthélemy portrays the quiet rhythm of life along the Norman coast. The scene captures the entrance to the small port of Courseulles-sur-Mer at low tide: ships rest tilted on the sandbanks, their tall masts rising like delicate tracery against a vast, luminous sky. Two figures and a dog occupy the foreground, their presence emphasizing the calm stillness of the harbor.
Berthélemy’s linework is crisp yet lyrical, balancing topographical precision with atmospheric subtlety. The artist’s use of fine cross-hatching creates delicate tonal gradations in the sky and water, while the strong verticals of the masts and wooden structures establish compositional balance. This etching exemplifies his mastery of marine and harbor subjects — capturing not dramatic movement but the contemplative poetry of maritime labor and waiting.
Excellent impression on laid paper, with full margins. Minor time toning and faint foxing in outer areas, otherwise fine condition.
A talented painter and printmaker, Pierre-Émile Berthélemy was active within the Société des Aquafortistes, contributing several marine subjects that attest to his deep engagement with coastal life in Normandy and Brittany. His etchings, published by Cadart
Luquet, reflect both his rigorous drawing skill and his poetic vision of the sea. Entrée du port de Courseulles à marée basse is a prime example of his sensitive observation of nature and his subtle rendering of atmosphere — qualities that align him with contemporaries like Daubigny and Lalanne in their pursuit of natural truth through the etched line.

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...
