About this objectEtching of St. Martin's Bridge running over the River Tagus in Toledo, Spain.

Geoffrey Heath Wedgwood was a prominent British etcher whose work stood out for its precision, clarity, and architectural finesse. Born in 1900, he pursued formal art education at the Liverpool College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London, where he honed his skills in printmaking. Wedgwood became especially known for his architectural and landscape etchings, often portraying scenes from Liverpool, although his works in the Williamson collection are primarily drawn from his travels in Italy and Spain.
