156 pages. "Few British Columbians will be able to study this dictionary without being reminded of the way their fathers, uncles, and grandfathers spoke about things. The words ring true to the days when we were hewers of wood and drawers of water, and saw nothing particularly wrong with such tasks, even rating them as more honourable than such modern pursuits as enforcing laws against solitaire players who cheat. Preverves almost 700 words which over the years have helped the people of this province to understand it, themselves, and their neighbours." - from Foreward. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Binding sound.

Acquaforte e puntasecca su carta vergata, 1878, firmata a matita in basso a destra Hubert Herkomer. Una bella impressione, con margini, buone condizioni. Il berretto arruffato e il grande cappello nero indossati da questa donna sono tradizionalmente gallesi. Herkomer era attratto dai soggetti umili, concentrandosi all'inizio della sua carriera sui residenti della sua nativa Baviera – suo padre era un artigiano che emigrò prima in America, poi in Inghilterra nel 1863. Alla fine degli anni 1870 Herkomer iniziò ad esplorare temi britannici e probabilmente si interessò al Galles attraverso la sua amicizia con il pittore e proprietario terriero gallese Charles William Mansel Lewis. Il nucleo familiare dell'artista comprendeva, dal 1874, Lulu Griffiths, un'infermiera gallese che divenne sua moglie nel 1884. Un'impressione di questa stampa fu esposta da M. Knoedler & Co, New York nel 1882 (n. 2) con la seguente didascalia dell'artista: "Un altro tentativo giovane e audace di fare qualcosa di insolito. Le linee sono troppo mordaci e non si fondono con il lavoro a puntasecca". Sir Hubert von Herkomer era un artista britannico di origine tedesca, e anche un regista e compositore pioniere del cinema. Sebbene fosse un ritrattista di grande successo, soprattutto di uomini, è ricordato soprattutto per le sue prime opere che avevano un approccio realistico alle condizioni di vita dei poveri Bibliografia Algernon Graves The Royal academy of arts; a complete dictionary of contributors and their works from its foundation in 1769 to 1904. London, 1905, vol. IV, p. 83, 1878, no. 1176: A Welsh woman, etching. Etching and drypoint on laid paper, 1878, signed on pencil at the bottom right Hubert Herkomer. A fine impression, with margins, good condition. The ruffled cap and large black hat worn by this woman are traditionally Welsh. Herkomer was attracted to humble subjects, focussing early in his career on residents of his native Bavaria–his family were craftspeople who emigrated first to America, then to England in 1863. In the late 1870s Herkomer began to explore British themes and likely became interested in Wales through his friendship with the painter and Welsh landowner Charles William Mansel Lewis. The artist's household included, from 1874, Lulu Griffiths, a Welsh nurse who became his wife in 1884. An impression of this print was exhibited at M. Knoedler & Co., New York in 1882 (no. 2) with the following caption by the artist: "Another young and bold attempt to do something unusual. The lines are too heavily bitten and do not blend with the drypoint work." Sir Hubert von Herkomer was a German-born British artist, and also a pioneering film-director and composer. Though a very successful portraitist, especially of men, he is mainly remembered for his earlier works that took a realistic approach to the conditions of life of the poor.
