Title:	Far Fram Hame (Far From Home)
Engraver:	Scott, James (London 1809 - 1891)
Designer:	Brown, John George (Durham, England, 1831 - New York City, 1913)
Date:	1884
Medium:	Original Mixed Method Engraving
Publisher:	C. Klackner, New York
Note:	James Scott: One of the finest engravers of the mid and late nineteenth century, James Scott was equally talented in the fields of portraiture, historical, sporting and genre subjects. He was highly regarded both for his mezzotints and mixed method engravings.
	James Scott fashioned a long and distinguished career. He first gained national recognition for his portrait of the Duke of Wellington published in 1837. During the next fifty years he engraved large designs after the works of such contemporary painters as Daniel Maclise, Landseer, J. G. Brown and George Henry Boughton. Far Fram Hame (Far From Home) was commissioned by the New York publisher, C. Klackner.
	John George Brown: A nineteenth century figure and genre painter, John George Brown first studied art at Newcastle-on-Tyne and at the Edinburgh Academy. Shortly after 1850 he moved to the United States and finished his education at the National Academy of Design Schools, New York, in 1853. George Brown was elected an Associate of the prestigious National Academy in 1862 and a full Academician in 1863. Today his paintings are included in many major American collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, DC.
	Although J. G. Brown was a gifted landscape painter and portraitist, he achieved his greatest distinction in the field of figure studies, particularly those relating to children. Some, such as, Far Fram Hame (Far From Home), were commissioned by leading publishers of engravings of the era.
	The Victorian Mixed Method Engraving: Perhaps the most technically demanding form of original printmaking in the history of art, the Victorian mixed method engraving reached its pinnacle of virtuosity in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. During this time large engravings were created to hang in Victorian homes. Highly skilled engravers would often devote more than a full year's labour to one of these large works of art, often combining mezzotinting, aquatint, stippling, engraving and etching on the same plate. Such is the case with this fine impression of, Far Fram Hame (Far From Home). No other form of intensive craftsmanship could produce such an outstanding variety of shades and tones as the mixed method engraving.
	These large engravings became the driving force of the Victorian art world. In fact, all the famous artists in England and America devoted their energies to the lucrative engraving market. Painters of international stature, such as George Henry Boughton (1883-1905), Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896), Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873), Sir Frederic Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton (1830-1896), John George Brown (1831-1913) and Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema (1836-1912) made their fortunes more by selling engraving rights to the publishers than by the actual sales of their paintings. This large Victorian engraving entitled, Far From Home is an original mixed method engraving
	Large Victorian engravings are now very scarce. Nineteenth century framers had no knowledge of conservation methods and thus the majority of these valuable works of art have simply disappeared or have been unalterably stained and marred in their acidic matting and frames. Another impression of this very large engraving in such good condition would be difficult to find.
	The New York firm of C. Klackner, published original etchings by late 19th and early 20th century artists and designers such as, Winslow Homer, William Magrath, James S. King, Frederick Spiegle, John T. Bentley, Gustave Mercier, Leon Moran, Eugene Michel Joseph Abot, Edward W. Sharland, James Scott and John George Brown and other notable artists from this period.
