Good evening folks!

 

A long time...

Hudson introduces the "Sempridur Finish" method for the first time, a special and innovative process for printing and plating metal sheets. The lithographed casket was presented as a small desk, given the space for the pen and the block of sheets. 

1915's I guess.

 

 

Sample...Anyone who know anything about the original painting? 

 

Best regards,

Impressive hasbeen. I just looked it up.

Apparently he painted over 600 portraits of Lady Hamilton.

There's an interesting story associated with this painting.

It's the 3rd picture on this page.

Thank you very heartly for your useful explanations. Seem like that George Romney was quite obsessed about the world of Bacchae, in particular whit Emma...Also really interesting is the ancient greek ritual, the "sparagmòs": ecstatic and frenetic little girls squashed the body of an animal and then fed the flesh. That's why the addition of a greyhound...May be portrayed before the shabby ritual?

A warm greeting,

Mario

The picture often turns up as a mezzotint and was done by various 19thc engravers....a little bit oldschool now...taste has changed enormously everything now has predominantly moved over to mid to late 20thc imagery and subject matter as with most antiques and decorative objects.....shame really ..so if you like this sort of stuff picture wise...now is a good time to buy..
