Dated (1882) and signed in the plate with his monogramme.
From the painting by Sir John Everett Millais (1829 – 1896). An English painter and book illustrator. A child prodigy who was hardworking as well as naturally gifted, he became the youngest ever student at the Royal Academy Schools when he was 11, and although he suffered some temporary setbacks when he was in his twenties his career was essentially one of the great Victorian success stories. In 1848, with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt, he founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and had his share of the abuse heaped against the members until John Ruskin stepped in as their champion.
From “Modern Etching and Engraving: With Examples by Leading Artists” by Basil Hansard published as part works by Virtue & Co., 7 City Garden Row, City Road, London circa 1914
