Name/TitleKincardine

About this objectEtching and drypoint depicting a wide plain with forestry in drypoint and a mountainous landscape in the distance.

This print was made by Sir David Young Cameron (1865–1945), who was a leading figure in the Etching Revival, a period of intense interest in printmaking during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Rooted in Britain’s romantic landscape tradition, Cameron was influenced by artists like J.M.W. Turner and Horatio McCulloch, yet his work diverged in tone and technique. Rather than dramatic natural spectacles, Cameron’s prints evoke a quiet, spiritual atmosphere, capturing the stillness and mood of the Scottish Highlands with poetic sensitivity.
