A photograph of an open book displaying a page with a small, centered etching. The etching appears abstract with dark, heavy lines and shaded areas, possibly depicting an interior or architectural space. Below the image, handwritten text reads "spectacle" and is signed by the artist. The surrounding page is aged and off-white, with the book's spine visible on the left edge, indicating it is part of a bound collection.

A vintage etching depicting two children standing in front of a doorway, with a seated figure in the shadows to the right, possibly reading. The scene conveys a sense of quiet and simplicity, with the focus on the interaction between the children and the dimly lit interior. The image is mounted on a page with handwritten text at the bottom, suggesting it may be part of a collection or book.

A vintage etching depicting a dark, intimate scene with a person lying on a bed, seemingly asleep. The room is dimly lit, with light coming from a window that also shows a glimpse of a night sky and distant buildings. The artwork is mounted on a page with handwritten text "In a Barn" at the bottom, suggesting the setting is a barn. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the etching.

Etching of an elderly bearded man walking with a stick, accompanied by a small bird perched on his hand, against a backdrop of a barren landscape with leafless trees. The image is titled "The Blind Leading the Blind" and is signed by the artist at the bottom right.

A black and white etching titled "The Alchemist" depicting a figure hunched over a table with books, possibly engaged in study or experimentation, with a light source casting a glow on the scene. The etching is mounted on a page within a book or album with visible binding on the left edge.

A vintage etching of a solitary figure standing in a dark alleyway, with the handwritten caption "An Outcast" at the bottom left and the artist's signature at the bottom right, all mounted on a page of an album.

A monochromatic etching depicting a solitary female figure standing in a doorway, surrounded by darkness with faint silhouettes in the background. The image is titled "A daughter of the Seamew" and includes the artist's signature at the bottom right. The etching is mounted on a page with aged edges.

An etching of a dark, shadowy cityscape with a prominent church spire, titled "An Old Street + Prints," signed by the artist, displayed on a beige paper page with protective tissue overlay, part of a bound collection.

An etching depicting a solitary figure ascending a flight of stairs within a dark archway, illuminated by a light source the figure is holding.
