Robert Blyth
Robert Blyth is represented in this archive by a single sheet from the 1780s, an era when British printmakers brought etching and aquatint together to capture everyday and military subjects with unusual tonal richness. His example here, Packhorse with Soldiers, belongs to that graphic tradition, where line work and grainy tone combine on a single plate. The collection holds one work, printed with brown ink in etching and aquatint, dating to 1784 and surviving in impressions up to that year.
