Another late 19th or very early 20th c. etching by Jack Hewer. Hewer was well known in the late 1800's as an illustrator for many books. He also did etchings, and we are lucky enough to have a couple for sale. This piece is numbered 18 of 75 and is signed lower right. The title, lower left, is a bit tough to read but looks like "T' path ta ? Wilkens". Use your judgment as to what it says. The scene depicts a hunter returning home with his dog behind him. There is a rock wall and more houses in the distance. A somber scene but well executed. Good condition. Measures 10"x 6" and with the frame it is 18"x 12 1/2". A bit of wording on the back likely by the framer.
