Lot description
Edward Calvert, British 1799-1883- The Cyder Feast; original wood engraving, 1828, Lister 7c iii/iii, 8.6 x 13.6 cm. Provenance: with Campbell Fine Art. The collection of the artist Graham Ovenden (1943-2022). Private Collection, UK. Note: Alongside Samuel Palmer (1805-1881), Calvert was a central member of the artistic group known as 'The Ancients', who were united by their admiration for William Blake (1757-1827), who died the year before Calvert produced this print in 1828. This composition exhibits a strong debt to Blake, particularly in its pagan imagery, and the evocation of an idyllic and bountiful natural setting.
