Edmund Blampied: Night Time in a Stable
Edmund Blampied was one of the most eminent artists born in Jersey, yet he received no formal training in art until he was 16 years old. He was noted mostly for his etchings and drypoints published at the height of the print boom in the 1920s during the etching revival, but was also a lithographer, caricaturist, book illustrator and artist in oils, watercolours, silhouettes and bronze.
