Title:	Lobster Fishers
Artist:	Hunter, Colin (Glasgow, 1841 - London, 1904)
Date:	1885
Medium:	Original Etching and Drypoint Engraving
Publisher:	Seeley & Co. 46, 47, & 48 Essex Street, Strand, London
Source:	Philip Gilbert Hamerton, Landscape, London
Note:	Colin Hunter: A major nineteenth century Scottish etcher and painter of marines, Colin Hunter studied under the landscape painter, J. Milne Donald. By the mid 1860's, however, Hunter focused his energies almost fully upon seascape paintings and etchings. Many of his fine seascapes were created on the West Coast or in the Hebrides. Between 1868 and 1903, Colin Hunter was an active exhibitor at both the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists, London. Colin Hunter was a full member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Water Colours (1879), the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers (1881), the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (1882), the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (1883) and an Associate of the Royal Academy (1884).
	One of the greatest qualities of Colin Hunter's marines is his ability to render the mood of the sea. In Lobster Fishers, for example, the artist superbly defines wind and wave with bold lines and tonal values. Few etchers of Colin Hunter's time could create such a fine composition with such masterful simplicity.
	Philip Gilbert Hamerton, "Landscape" London, 1885: No writer did more to champion the public's awareness of original etching as a fine art form during the mid nineteenth century than Philip Gilbert Hamerton. His first major contribution, Etchings and Etchers, was published in 1868 and caused many fine artists to favor the etching needle over the paint brush. As well, the now famous first edition of this book included original etchings by Whistler, Haden, Palmer, Cope and old masters such as Waterloo.
	In 1885 Hamerton again sought contributions from leading contemporary etchers. The first edition of Landscape (from which this original etching comes) contained work by Stephen Parrish, Joseph Pennell, Edmond Yon, Colin Hunter, E. P. Brandard, Heywood Hardy, Alfred Dawson and Maxime Lalanne.
