Constable’s name shows up here again, but this print isn’t his work. Leslie, C.R. turned one of Constable’s sketches into a print in 1843. It’s a mezzotint, a fancy way to make rich darks and soft lights from a metal plate. This piece came from a famous set of 22 Constable-inspired prints. They started in 1830, grew in 1833, and kept getting reprinted even after Constable died. See more like it at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
