Monotipo o herkomergravure, 1891, firmato e datato sulla lastra in alto a destra Hubert Herkomer '91. Una bella impressione, stampata su carta contemporanea, con margini, condizioni perfette. “Il monotipo è il mezzo di stampa più diretto. L'artista dipinge su una superficie liscia e impermeabile, mette un pezzo di carta bianca sopra il dipinto e applica una pressione in modo che l'immagine dipinta venga trasferita sulla carta. […] Durante il diciannovesimo secolo ci fu molto ingegno nel trovare un modo per gli stampatori di creare edizioni che fossero pittoriche come il monotipo. Generalmente, gli inventori sperimentavano un composto speciale che poteva essere applicato al dipinto dell'artista ancora umido, non appena eseguito su una lastra di rame. Quando la lastra veniva asciugata e galvanizzata, poteva essere inchiostrata come una lastra incisa e stampata più e più volte, fornendo la spontaneità del monotipo, ma con la ripetibilità di altri mezzi di stampa. Vari inventori inventarono processi simili, e alla fine del 1800 erano disponibili tre processi per coloro che desideravano fare una stampa che avesse alcune delle qualità visive di un monotipo, ma che potesse anche essere prodotta in un'edizione di stampe identiche: il galvanografo, l'elettrotinta e l'herkomergravure, dal nome del suo inventore, Hubert Herkomer (1849-1914). William Merritt Chase (americano, 1849-1916) introdusse Herkomer al processo del monotipo nel 1885. Herkomer sviluppò il suo processo nel 1897, ma ne scrisse per la prima volta nel 1892. Potrebbe essere stato nel 1902 che Herkomer ricambiò il favore di Chase introducendolo all'herkomergravure, quando Chase tornò in Inghilterra. Il processo implicava la spalmatura di inchiostro su una lastra di rame e la creazione dell'immagine con le dita e/o i pennelli, come nel processo del monotipo. Poi la lastra veniva spolverata con una combinazione di polveri speciali, asciugata e placcata. L'immagine risultante era un quasi monotipo" (cfr. Andrew Stevens, American Monotypes from the Baker/Pisano Collection, pp. 3-6). Sir Hubert von Herkomer era un artista britannico di origine tedesca, e anche un regista e compositore pioniere del cinema.

Cat., by Russell Panczenko, Andrew Stevens, and D. Frederick Baker, pp. 3-6. Monotype or herkomergravure, 1891, signed and dated on plate at the upper right Hubert Herkomer ’91. A fine impression, printed on contemporary wove paper, with margins, perfect condition. “Monotype is the most direct print medium. The artist paints on a smooth, impermeable surface, places a blank piece of paper on top of the painting, and applies pressure so that the painted image is transferred onto the paper. […] Through the nineteenth century there was much ingenuity expended on finding a way for printmakers to create editions that were as painterly as monotype. Generally, inventors came up with a special compound that could be applied to the still-wet artist’s painting executed on a copper plate. When the plate was dried and electroplated, it could then be inked like an etched or engraved plate and printed again and again, providing the spontaneity of the monotype, but with the repeatability of other print media. Various inventors came up with similar processes, and by the end of the 1800s three processes were available for those wishing to make a print that had some of the visual qualities of a monotype, but could also be produced in an edition of identical prints: the galvanograph, the electrotint, and the herkomergravure, named after its inventor, Hubert Herkomer (English, 1849–1914). Herkomer was a popular painter of portraits and social genre scenes, and an inveterate experimenter in the arts. William Merritt Chase (American, 1849–1916) introduced Herkomer to the monotype process in 1885. Herkomer developed his process by 1897, but first wrote about it in 1892. It may have been in 1902 that Herkomer returned Chase’s favor by introducing him to the herkomergravure, when Chase next returned to England. The process involved smearing ink onto a copper plate and creating the image with fingers and/or brushes, as with the monotype process. Then the plate was dusted with a combination of special powders, dried, and electroplated. The resulting image was a quasi-monotype” (cfr. Andrew Stevens, American Monotypes from the Baker/Pisano Collection, pp. 3-6). 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.

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.

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.
