<p>[QUOTE="architrave, post: 294542, member: 3723"]Sometimes auction houses describe a signed etching as "after" the artist concerned for no good reason. I don't know why, it's just plain wrong. I have found mention of a few other etchings of old houses said to be by "W Edington". However, I can find no other trace of the artist, and I'm not at all sure that the auctioneers have read the name right.</p><p><br /></p><p>("After" should mean that it is copied from a specific work by that artist, not merely in their style.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
