1920s Era M. OLIVER RAE (1868 - 1956) Framed Etching

1920’s Era M. OLIVER RAE (1868 - 1956) Framed Etching

Mabel Oliver Rae was born in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, and trained at the Slade School of Fine Art between 1888 and 1890. Rae is known for her skilled etchings of various rural scenes and townscapes, particularly those of the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. She signed works with the pseudonym ‘M.Oliver Rae’, a ruse to conceal the fact she was a female artist, so as not to reduce her chances with commercial dealers and agents.

Etching measures 7.5” by 10.5” and is framed to 13” by 16”. It is signed on the lower left hand corner and titled in the center. It is in good condition but the frame could use a bit of reinforcement to keep the etching in place and the matting does have moderate staining.
