Published by H C Dickins 1914. On stout wove paper, a little time-stained. Walcot trained as an architect but did not practice after he settled in England, though he worked as a perspectivist for other architects, and architecture was the main subject of his paintings and etchings in 1906. A painterly etcher, Walcot was only concerned with the final effect of the plate, employing an impressionistic approach to truth to the spirit of the scene. The ancient world particularly captured Walcot’s imagination:“Archaeology is history; art is experience, and must always have reference to the modernity of the past”. Walcot’s family, recalling his vivid imagination, commented that he believed himself a reincarnation from Classical times and dressed in a toga and sandals in the privacy of his home. Exhibited at the Royal Academy 1914.
