‘Barges’, Bishops Stortford (MH.10). Wood engraving. 1924.
Signed and printed by the Artist’s nephew from the original woodblock – Estate of Clare Leighton
Printed in an edition of 100.
Barges is amongst Leighton’s earliest work. Writing of this print later in life Leighton commented: They were days of interpreting the world around me. For the time being, economically secure with my earnings from teaching (at the RCA), I had not taken advantage of the accolade of the Eric Gill purchase (see The Malthouse). In one was I was wondering free. So I engraved early prints such as The Calf Auction, Barges and other scenes around me in the little market town of Bishops Startford for my own pleasure.
