"A Jersey Vraic Cart". Etching on copper, printed by David Strang, London, on J. Whatman laid paper, ca. 1941, from an edition of 260+10, plate size 8-5/8" x 11", paper size 11-1/2" x 15-1/2", with matting and framing under glass approx. 15" x 20" overall. This print is The Print Club of Cleveland Publication No. 19. There is an original sticker on the back of the framing. "A Jersey Vraic Cart" was chosen from three drawings submitted by the renowned artist. Interestingly, the trial proof for this print was pulled in 1939, but due to WWII between England and Germany being at its peak, somehow the payment to Blampied never arrived. The edition of the prints arrived safely, but it was years before the Print Club heard from the great artist again. The original payment arrived at the beging of the German occupation, so he was not able to cash the cheque, so another was sent when he was heard from again. The original plate had also been missing from David Strang's studio due to the bombing, but it was later recovered and sent to Cleveland.
