Title:	Bygone Highway
Artist:	Bellows, Albert Fitch (Milford, Massachusetts, 1829 - New York, 1883)
Date:	c. 1880
Medium:	Original Etching
Note:	Albert Fitch Bellows, 'Albert Bellows', 'A. F. Bellows': An outstanding nineteenth century American landscape artist, A. F. Bellows first studied architecture. He accepted the post of Principal of the New England School of Design, Boston, remaining there from 1850 to 1856. Albert Bellows then resigned to complete his studies first in Paris and then in Antwerp at the Royal Academy. A. F. Bellows was elected to the Royal Society of Painters in Belgium several years later. Upon his return to the United States he lived and worked mainly in Boston until the great fire of 1872, in which his studio and much of his work was destroyed.
	During the last decade of his life, Albert Fitch Bellows opened a very successful studio on Fourth Avenue in New York. It was at this time that he devoted much of his time to the original art of etching, becoming a member of the New York Etching Club, the Philadelphia Society of Etchers and the prestigious Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers, London, England. Albert Fitch Bellows was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1859 and a full member in 1861.
	In 1880 the American Art Review commissioned Albert Bellows to contribute an original etching (Mill Pond at Windsor, Connecticut) to its publication. Together with the etching they published a short biography as well as a listing of the artist's etchings to date. As Bygone Highway did not appear on this list it is probable that it was thus created between 1880 and 1883. Bygone Highway is one of Albert Bellows's largest etchings and, with its rich atmospheric effects, clearly one of his best.
