A plate published September 1st 1886 by Raphael Tuck & Sons, Fine Art Publishers 72, 73 Coleman St, City London and 298 Broadway, New York. Etching by S Myers from an original work by Constable. John Constable, RA (11 June 1776 – 31 March 1837) was an English landscape painter in the naturalistic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for his landscape paintings of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home – now known as "Constable Country" – which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling".
