Peter Strang, builder. He was educated at the Dumbarton See also:Academy, and worked for fifteen months in the counting-See also:house of a See also:firm of shipbuilders. He went to See also:London in 1875 when he was sixteen, and studied his See also:art under See also:Alphonse See also:Legros at the See also:Slade School for six years. Strang became assistant See also:master in the See also:etching class, and himself followed this art with See also:great success. He was one of the See also:original members of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, and exhibited at their first See also:exhibition in 1881. Some of his See also:early plates were published in the See also:Portfolio and other art magazines. He worked in many See also:manners, etching, dry point, See also:mezzotint, See also:sand-ground mezzotint, and burin See also:engraving, and invented a draw-burin of his own. See also:Lithography and See also:wood-cutting were also used by him to re-produce his abundant imaginings. He cut a large wood-engraving of a See also:man ploughing, that has been published by the Art for See also:Schools Association. A privately produced See also:catalogue of his engraved See also:work contains more than three See also:hundred items. Amongst his earlier See also:works " Tinkers," " St See also:Jerome," " A Woman washing her Feet," an " Old See also:Book-See also:- STALL (0. Eng. steall, stael, cf. Du. stal, Ger. and Swed. Stall, a common Teutonic word for a place, station, place for standing in; the root is the Indo-European std–, to stand, seen also in Latin stabulum, Greek vraO bs, and in stallion, an entire hors
stall with a man See also:lighting his See also:pipe from a flare," and " The See also:head of a See also:Peasant Woman," on a sand-ground mezzotint, may be remembered. Later plates such as " See also:Hunger," " The See also:Bachelor's End " and " The Salvation See also:Army " cannot be forgotten. Some of his best etchings have been in See also:series; one of the earliest, illustrating William See also:Nicholson's ballad of " See also:Aken See also:Drum," is remarkable for delicate and clear workmanship in the See also:shadow tones, showing great skill and See also:power over his materials, and for strong See also:drawing. Another See also:good series was the " See also:Pilgrim's Progress," revealing austere sympathy with See also:Bunyan's teaching. See also:Coleridge's " See also:Ancient Mariner " and Strang's own " See also:Allegory of See also:Death " and the Plowman's Wife," have served him with suitable imaginative subjects. Some of Rudyard See also:Kipling's stories have been illustrated by him, too, and Strang's portrait of Kipling has been one of his most successful portrait plates. Other good etched portraits are of Mr Ernest Sichel, See also:fine as a Vandyck, and of Mr J. B. See also:Clark, with whom Strang collaborated in illustrating See also:Baron See also:Munchausen and Sinbad the Sailor and See also:Ali Baba, published in 1895 and 1896. See also:- THOMAS

Henry See also:Newbolt and many other distinguished men also sat to him. Proofs from these plates have been much valued; in fact, Strang's portrait etchings have inaugurated a new See also:form of reproductive See also:portraiture. A portrait which is a work of art and can be reproduced a number of times without losing any of its art qualities is one ideal way of recording appearances, as such prints can be treasured by many owners. Strang produced a number of good paintings, portraits, nude figures in landscapes, and See also:groups of peasant families, which have been exhibited in the Royal Academy, the See also:International Society, and several See also:German exhibitions. He painted a decorative seriesof scenes from the See also:story of See also:Adam and See also:Eve for the library of Mr See also:Hodson of See also:Wolverhampton; they were exhibited at the Whitechapel exhibition in 191o. Some of his drawings from the nude See also:model in See also:silver point and red and See also:black See also:chalk are very beautiful as well as powerful and true. He also painted a number of landscapes, mostly of a small See also:size. In later years he See also:developed a See also:style of drawing in red and black chalk, with the whites and high See also:lights rubbed out, on See also:paper stained with See also:water See also:colour. This method gives qualities of ,delicate modelling and refined form and gradations akin to the drawings of See also:Holbein. He See also:drew portraits in this manner of many members of the See also:- ORDER

Order of Merit for the royal library at See also:Windsor See also:Castle. In 1902 Strang retired from the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, as a protest against the inclusion in its exhibitions of etched or engraved reproductions of pictures. His work was subsequently seen principally in the exhibitions of the Society of Twelve, of the International Society, to which See also:body he was elected in 1905, and of the Royal Academy. Strang was elected an See also:associate engraver of the Royal Academy when that degree was wisely revived in 1906. (C.
