About the Item

The Lock – Large Plate 1832/34. Mezzotint by David Lucas (1802-1881), as directed by John Constable. Reworked and republished final state. Shirley catalog 36 state iv.; Christopher Lennox-Boyd state vi/vi. Image: 19 1/4 x 22 1/4, plate: 20 1/4 x 26 37/8, sheet: 30 3/4 x 24. Published originally in London: Republished Feb.y 15, 1853, by Thomas Boys (of the late Firm of Moon, Boyd Greaves,) Printseller to the Royal Family, 467, Oxford Street - Paris. E.Gambart C. 9 Rue d'Orleans au Marais,-Depose. Originally Published July 1.1834. Inscription: 'Painted by John Constable. Engraved by David Lucas. To the President and Members of the Royal Academy of Arts, This Landscape Engraved from a Painting by John Constable, Esq R.A., is by permission most respectfully dedicated by their Obedient servant Thomas Boys.' Housed in a pale beige double archival mat and a 34 x 30-inch brown wood frame with gold beading. The Lock was one of a sequence of large pictures of Suffolk canal scenes that Constable exhibited at the Royal Academy between the years of 1819 and 1825. The keeper of Flatford Lock is depicted in the process of opening the gates whilst a barge waits in the basin for the water levels to drop. On the left, a horse waits beside a crouching figure. Fields extend into the distance and a church can be seen. When the oil painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1824, the picture sold on the opening day – something unique in Constable's career – for 150 guineas. The engraver S.W. Reynolds, offered to make a print of it at his own risk; but never finished it. This print was made by Reynold’s pupil, David Lucus, ten years later. It derives from a posthumous collection of Constable's works entitled 'English Landscape Scenery,'edited by H.G. Bohn and published by Thomas Boys in 1853. The series consisted of forty mezzotint engravings on steel plates; all of which were produced by Lucas.
