AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A very atmospheric nocturnal Gothic scene with demon dogs (hellhounds) attacking a farm. The depiction aligns with the Victorian folklore and horror art tradition. Above the etching, there are also original pencil sketches by the artist, including figures, animals, and a cannon, making this sheet particularly notable as a work or trial sheet.

Details
Original etching, not a reproduction.

Rare Gothic & folkloric theme
19th-century English print reasonably to good considering the age. Present are foxing, discoloration of the paper, and a fold in the middle. No tears or image loss. The signature is clear and intact.
