DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: A portrait of the artist's elderly father-in-law, half-length, seated, in profile facing left. He holds an open book in his hands. 
The print was published as Plate 21 in Lumsden's, The Art of Etching (1924) where it is used to illustrate drypoint 'done direct from life' and is described by Lumsden as having been executed 'direct on the copper in artificial light'. 
This impression is the first trial proof and was given to the Museum along with the cancelled plate and other prints at the suggestion of Sydney Cockerell. In a letter sent to Cockerell dated 29.ix.20, Lumsden describes the trial proof of The Reader as 'a remarkably / rich one though hardly as like as / some of the later'.
