Note:	Charles Hazelwood Shannon 'Charles Shannon': One of Britain's greatest turn-of-the-century lithographic artists, Charles Shannon was also a leading figure of the Aesthetic Movement. He studied at the City and Guilds Art School, Kennsington, where he met his fellow student and soon to be collaborative artist, Charles Ricketts. Together, Shannon and Ricketts designed and engraved one of the most famous illustrated books of the late nineteenth century, Daphnis and Chloe (1893). They also jointly published The Dial (1889-1897), an influential arts periodical, and founded the great Vale Press, which created fine illustrated books from 1896 to 1904.
	As an individual artist, Charles Hazelwood Shannon turned most frequently to the medium of lithography. He expressed that he found the soft, tonal qualities of this method best suited his artistic aims. First influenced by the lithographs and etchings of Whistler, Charles Shannon soon broke out to create his own, unique style, mainly in a number of beautiful figure studies and nudes. A major appeal of Shannon's original lithographs was and is his strong gifts of composition and the aesthetic -- almost mystical -- atmosphere he creates. The Gatherers surely illustrates this. Here, the movements of manual labor are transformed into a number of absorbing rhythms and patterns.
	This original lithograph hails from a portfolio published in 1898 by T. Fisher Unwin entitled, Lithography & Lithographers:Some chapters in the history of the art, by Elizabeth Robins Pennell; together with desriptions and technical explanations of modern artistic methods by Joseph Pennel. In this valuable work, Pennell examined the artistic advancements of lithography, with particular emphasis upon his contemporaries. With this in mind he commissioned original lithographs from seven artists, including James McNeil Whistler, Alphonse Legros, William Strang, Lunois, McLure Hamilton and C. H. Shannon. All these commissioned works of art were printed by London's master lithographic printer, Thomas R, Way.
