BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Ian Thom, E.J. Hughes, 2002, reproduced page 35, and the 1955 canvas entitled Howe Sound based on this print reproduced page 123
E.J. Hughes’s earliest prints were made in woodcut and linocut, but in 1935 he began to make drypoint etchings of a very high quality, and in that year produced 11 of them. Etchings such as Howe Sound from Gospel Rock exhibit Hughes’s great skill as a draughtsman, with its highly detailed and layered view of Howe Sound. Hughes must have found this image compelling, as he returned to this composition again in a fine 1955 canvas entitled Howe Sound, in the collection of the Edmonton Art Gallery. Hughes’s prints are rare, as altogether he only produced about 20 of them. An impression of this etching is in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.
The full sheet size of this work measures 13 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches.
