Date: c.1930-33
Maker: Noel Rooke
Dimensions:
202 x 272 mm (20.2 x 27.2 cm)
Image: 150 x 226 mm (15 x 22.6 cm)
Sheet: 202 x 272 mm (20.2 x 27.2 cm)
Medium: Ink on wove (?) paper
Object number: P.1704.2
DescriptionUnmounted and unsigned - perhaps an early proof. Further suggesting this, a sister image - P.1704.1 - is printed on a different stock, lighter than this print which is on wove paper. Perhaps influenced by the difference in paper stocks, this print is a much darker and the definition of line and tone a little sharper than P.1704.1
The date has been influenced by striking stylisytic similarities between this print and P.1694 - 'Zinal Rothorn' - which was dated by Justin Howes in his article on Rooke in issue 3 of Matrix, and the publication of that same print in Clare Leighton's 'Wood Engraving of the 1930s', published by The Studio Ltd., London, in 1936.
