When Winter Wanes - WILLIAM GILES
Medium: relief etching printed from multiple zinc plates
WILLIAM GILES
British, (1872-1939)
Relief etching printed from multiple zinc plates, circa 1923, edition probly 100. 11 1/8 x 13 3/8 in. Signed in the plate with the red monogram "WG." Signed in pencil and numbered "34." This is a fine impression of this exemplary work. The condition is very good apart from a residue of an old adhesive along the edges of the sheet, verso, from an early mount. The margins appear to be full. This print is illustrated on the cover of Fine Prints of the Year; A Complete Illustrated Index 1923-1938 (Wofsy, 2006). It was published by P & D Colnaghi, London, who represented the artist for many years. William Giles was elected president of the Society of Graver Printers in Colour in the mid-1920’s, succeeding Theodore Roussel who had been made its first president upon the foundation of the Society in 1909.
