Warlow (Herbert Gordon) ARE, ARIBA.

, , c.1930.
Herbert Gordon Warlow (1885-1942) was born in Sheffield, and first attended art school in the city. Over time he became one of the most highly skilled practitioners in the etching revival of the early 20th century. Aside from being elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, he was also an Associate of the Royal Society of British Architects, an interest that often dominated his compositions.

This plate of a quiet corner of a major London landmark, lightly populated with casual strollers, exemplifies Warlow’s exceptional printmaking skill in his extensive application of aquatint to create a rich, dark, velvety impression redolent of mezzotint..
