Following the remarkable success of his Derby Day at the Royal Academy in 1858, Frith planned another best-selling work. He started work on The Railway Station in 1860. Before he had he completed it, he had sold it, along with the copyright, to the picture dealer Victor Flatow for £4,500. The painting was exhibited in 1862. Rodney Engen gives the date of Holl's engraving as 1862, and this is the earliest that he could have started work. This impression, issued by Henry Graves & Co, bears the date 1 October 1866. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | POPULAR PRINT : STEEL ENGRAVING : DICKENSIAN SUBJECT : VICTORIAN SUBJECT PICTURE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
