Description: | Signed: yes Description: Karl Klic was not only a painter but also the inventor of the heliogravure (1878) and photogravure (c.1890) printing processes. It was his skill as a printer that brought him to England in 1886. By 1890 Klic was working with the Storey Bros in Lancashire, further developing his printing techniques. Within the painting Klic has included an architect's drawing of the Storey Institute, which was Sir Thomas's gift to the town marking Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The building opened in 1891 and this portrait was presented to the Art Gallery by Storey's workforce in 1893. | Subjects: | portrait (Storey Sir Thomas) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Klic, Karl (Austrian painter 1841-1926) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8641... | Go to resource |
