Description: ITEM REDUCED * *STOCK CLEARANCE * *MASSIVE REDUCTIONS ACROSS ALL LISTINGS * * Artist: STANLEY ANDERSON (ALFRED CHARLES S. ANDERSON) RA RE (1884-1966)About the Artist: Stanley Anderson CBE RA (11 May 1884 – 4 March 1966) was a British engraver, etcher and watercolour painter. Anderson was principally known for the series of highly detailed engravings of traditional British crafts that he completed over a twenty-year period beginning in 1933.A key figure in the revival of line engraving in the 1920s, Stanley Anderson RA (1884–1966) is best known for his series of prints memorialising England’s vanishing rural crafts. Anderson was responsible for reviving line engraving as a mode of original graphic expression, when it had become all but obsolete. He learned the process as an apprentice to a heraldic engraver, but initially achieved fame as an etcher and drypointist in the renaissance of British etching during and after World War I. In 1929 he turned his skills to engraving on a copper plate, and he will chiefly be remembered for his engravings of English rural crafts dating from 1932.In 1934 he was made ARA and in 1941 RA. His work was widely exhibited and is represented in Britain, the USA, and Europe, and examples are held in the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, National Portrait Museum, Royal Academy, Fitzwilliam Museum, and Ashmolean museum. It is in the Ashmolean Museum that the most comprehensive collection of Anderson's print-making is to be found. It is the most instructive collection because of its many ‘states’, the working proofs before the published one, the artist's studies and notes, and letters from Anderson which reveal the pains he took with those who were interested in his prints. He was appointed CBE in 1951 mainly for his engravings of English Rural crafts. Description:Engraving of 'Good Companions - one edition of only 65 printed.Original Early 20th Century engraving.
