William Daniell is one of Britain's most important topographical artists.He was one of the earliest employers of the aquatint process, and he was involved in all stages of the production process.
This work was one of the images produced after a long journey around the entire coast of Britain.
He travelled widely including to the Orient. His aquatints from that journey can easily sell for £5000 for a single print,
This work carries the label of Baynton Williams. That is significant provenance as Roger Baynton Williams was one of the most important figures in the world of antiquarian prints. He was a council member of the prestigious British Antiques Dealers Association. (BADA).When he died in 2011 obituaries appeared even in the national press, such was his standing in the trade. There is information about him online.When an item appears at sale with a Baynton Williams label this is often specifically mentioned in the sale description.
Baynton Williams also framed their prints and maps, and they have chosen to display the entire sheet, without any mount , so that the wide margins are fully displayed with nothing hidden.
They have used a simple ebonised frame. This has some light rubbing and wear with age.The frame is still good and is an integral part of the whole item. It's sound and secure.
I intend to list a number of aquatints by William Daniell over the coming days. Please look out for them.
