{"product_id":"etchings-of-glasgow-gorbals-muirhead-bone","title":"Etchings of Glasgow: Gorbals - Muirhead Bone","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Muirhead Bone depicting the industrial architecture of the Gorbals in Glasgow, captured with technical precision and atmospheric depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuirhead Bone was a central figure in the British Etching Revival, a movement that sought to restore the artistic integrity of the print medium. This work depicts the Gorbals area of Glasgow, a district undergoing significant industrial and architectural change at the turn of the twentieth century. Bone captures the density of the tenement buildings against the river, using a combination of etching and drypoint to achieve varied tonal qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured around the horizontal expanse of the river, which acts as a foreground to the urban architecture. Bone employs fine, controlled lines to delineate the structural details of the buildings, while using softer, more atmospheric drypoint marks to suggest the water and the hazy quality of the Glasgow air. The presence of a small boat and figures on the riverbank provides a sense of scale, grounding the architectural subject in the daily life of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBone was known for his technical precision and his ability to document the physical transformation of urban environments. His approach avoids romanticisation, focusing instead on the textures of stone, the geometry of industrial structures, and the interplay of light across the water. This print reflects his early interest in the topography of his home city, demonstrating the draughtsmanship that would later lead to his appointment as an official war artist. The work is a record of a specific moment in Glasgow's history, presented with the clarity and restraint characteristic of Bone's graphic output. The muted palette and the focus on line work allow the viewer to observe the architectural character of the Gorbals without distraction, offering a direct engagement with the artist's observation of the built environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/coronation-of-the-virgin-master-of-the-orcagnesque-misericordia-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCoronation of the Virgin - Master of the Orcagnesque Misericordia — Master of the Orcagnesque Misericordia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/design-for-stained-glass-southeast-window-nave-paisley-abbey-scotland-edward-burne-jones\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDesign for Stained Glass, Southeast Window, Nave, Paisley Abbey, Scotland - Edward Burne-Jones — Edward Burne-Jones\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Muirhead Bone","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473815966031,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473844441423,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473844474191,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58473844506959,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58473844539727,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58473844572495,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58473844605263,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58473844638031,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58473844670799,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58473844703567,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58473844736335,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Etchings-of-Glasgow_-Gorbals_Poster_CompositorV1_1786320848877.jpg?v=1786688670","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/etchings-of-glasgow-gorbals-muirhead-bone","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
