This etching exists in five states: there was one impression of the first state, two of the second and a total of eighty-five of the third, fourth and fifth. P02066, which has the signature added on the plate, is of the final state. The etching was published by the Twenty-One Gallery and the plate destroyed by 1928.
Like ‘Cray Fields’ (P02067) it dates from the period when Sutherland’s etchings were strongly influenced by the work of Samuel Palmer. His subjects were taken at this time from a small area of the countryside in Kent and Sussex.
