Ebb Tide, Putney Bridge
1885
"Ebb Tide, Putney Bridge" is a mezzotint by Frank Short depicting the Thames at low tide beneath the historic London bridge. The work demonstrates Short's masterful command of the mezzotint medium, using subtle tonal gradations to capture atmospheric effects and the play of light on water. This print exemplifies Short's reputation as one of the finest British printmakers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly known for his landscape subjects rendered in this technically demanding reproductive technique.
