Antique Collectors' Club. 2008.

Description: Reprint, first published in 1999 by the Clarendon Press. 4to; original boards and dust jacket. Numerous black and white illustrations. Griggs was universally acclaimed as one of the finest etchers of his time. Most of his subjects are architectural; some show actual places, whilst others are constructs from a rich arts-and-crafts imagination. Laregly unrecognized, he is a pivot in British Romantic art, linking Turner, Blake, and Samuel Palmer with the Neo-Romantics Graham Sutherland and John Piper. Fine in fine dust jacket.
