Affleck, Andrew EDINBURGH or EDINBURGH CASTLE. Etching, drypoint and aquatint, not dated (early 20th Century; Affleck died in 1935). Signed, lower right in pencil, and annotated near the bottom, center, "210/Plate Destroyed," and at the bottom, right, "Edinburgh," implying a possible edition size of 210. 11 5/8 x 18 3/4 inches. A large, atmospheric rendering of the castle, on a hill, in the center, a park, rendered darkly at the lower left, above it, buildings, and to the right, a major street, sloping downhill, with large buildings on both sides. Affleck (1874-1935), is noted for his treatments of architectural subjects; along with Axel Herman Haig and Albany Howarth, he is regarded as one of Britain's masters of this form. In excellent condition.
