A LOCK ON THE STOUR SUFFOLK is a 1831 by John Constable, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
John Constable’s *A Lock on the Stour, Suffolk* is a print from his series *Various Subjects of English Landscape*. It shows a quiet view of the English countryside. Mezzotint was tricky—dark tones needed careful scraping. Constable didn’t make the prints himself. He hired David Lucas to turn his paintings into these 22 mezzotints. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
