ARTIST/CARTOGRAPHER/ENGRAVER: Drawn, etched and published by John Sell Cotman and Frederic James Crome. John Sell Cotman (16 May 1782 – 24 July 1842) was an English marine and landscape painter, etcher, illustrator, author and a leading member of the Norwich School of painters. PROVENANCE: In 1811, his first set of etchings was published; all but one of the subjects were architectural, mostly buildings in Yorkshire. From 1812 to 1820 he published a set of 60 etchings of the ancient buildings of Norfolk. This print was published in 'Specimens of Architectural Remains in various counties in England, but principally in Norfolk. Etched by John Sell Cotman. Volume II." published 1838. Between the years 1810 and 1824 J.S. Cotman produced some of the finest etched work to come from any member of the Norwich School. Concentrating mainly on aspects of ancient or ruined architecture, John Sell Cotman’s etchings share the unique character of his carefully observed pencil sketches and architectural drawings, depending essentially on line alone, rather than areas of light and shade.
