Description

Wood engraving, first edition.

Formerly in the collection of the English wood engraver Reynolds Stone, gifted by the publisher Sampson Low, Marston and Company.

This engraving is full of contrasts. It is bathed in the
light of the great harvest moon. In spite of the absence
of colour, one can well imagine the blue, purple and
yellow contrasts of this rich night in late summer,
with its pungent smell of crushed apples, its hint of
approaching autumn. Raymond Lister, Edward Calvert, 1962.
