London: 1883. Single sheet, 12 1/4 x 8 1/4 ins, wove paper watermarked (partial) "MILL". Image 4 x 6 ins., plate 5 1/4 x 7 3/8 ins. deep rich impression in black ink. � Etching (second state of four, with the lettering below the print) to illustrate "The Eclogues of Virgil" (1883). It was begun by Palmer in 1880 and finished by his son. Lister E16. "After some thought Palmer decided that he should go back to his favorite medium of etching for the illustrations. As he son notes, although he had given only 10 etchings to the world in almost 25 years, this was not light undertaking by "a labor of love". It wasn't until 1881 that he really got going only to be struck down. He died in May telling his son of his wish that the Virgil should be finished. He used the original drawings and his father's notes on proofs. One plate had been finished by Palmer and others were well advanced and then finished by his son from Palmer's notes but some of the designs had not been etched. So those that had been etched are printed here from the plate and for the other illustrations the drawings have been reproduced using photo-engraving." Ray, The Illustrator and the Book in England from 1790-1914, 222. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 124645
