After J M W Turner (British, 1775-1851) PROCRIS AND CEPHALUS Etching with mezzotint, 1812, the edition was 200, from the 'Liber Studiorum' portfolio, drawn and etched by the artist, engraved by George Clint on wove paper, with full margins image 18.5 x 26.5cm, framed The Liber Studiorum, must still rank as one of the greatest sets of mezzotint engravings ever produced. Turner drew and etched the outlines directly on to copper plates which he then passed to an engraver who filled in the etched outlines with mezzotint. Of seventy-one prints issued, it is believed that no more than two hundred of each were printed. The plates were destroyed by his executors in 1873. A copy of this portfolio is in the Tate collection. Condition Report Request further information or images After J M W Turner (British
