Tavy Notton (French 1914-1977) four attractive engravings, depicting a small village on a cliff with figures using scythes below, and two more naturalistic engravings depicting insects and butterflies, all four signed in pencil in the lower right margin, framed and glazed. The largest measures approx 44.5cm x 26cm and the smallest 37cm x 25cms. Note: The artist spent much time in Greece during WWII, the small village scene is believed to have been executed during this period. The naturalistic engravings are attributed to his later work when living and working in France. The engravings were bequeathed to the vendor's mother by a Mrs Johnston who purchased the etchings directly from the artist, in 1946. She states in a note to verso " Tony was a young French/Burmese man trying to make a living selling his work from a tiny 'shop' hollowed from the rock wall beside a street. There were many such shops at that time." These engravings have thus moved down through the family by descent.
