Book Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Etchings, Dry-Points and Mezzotints: October 4 to October 31, 1910 It is extraordinary how a busy London surgeon should surpass the professional artists in their own specialty, but this is what Seymour Haden certainly did. Being a man of very wide artistic knowledge it must not be supposed that he was ignorant of the fine quality of his own works. He judged them with the same impartiality with which he would have judged the etchings of Rem brandt. I well remember Seymour Haden saying to me, in allusion to his drypoint, the Sunset in Ireland: That is the print which will fetch an enormous price in the centuries to come.
