Synopsis

Axel Herman Haig and His Work is a book written by E.A. Armstrong and published in 1905. The book is a comprehensive account of the life and work of Axel Herman Haig, a Swedish-born artist who is best known for his intricate architectural drawings and etchings. The book covers Haig's early life in Sweden, his training as an artist, and his move to England in the late 19th century. It also explores Haig's unique artistic style, which combined elements of the Arts and Crafts movement with a fascination with medieval architecture and design. The book features a number of Haig's most famous works, including his series of etchings of the cathedrals of England, as well as his designs for stained glass windows, bookplates, and other decorative objects. In addition to providing a detailed analysis of Haig's artistic output, the book also offers insights into the broader artistic and cultural context of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Overall, Axel Herman Haig and His Work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art and design in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

During this period Mr. Haig has consistently exercised his powers upon the noblest examples of architecture in England, France, I taly, andS pain, with frequent excursions into other countries, among which his native land is to be included, always selecting worthy subjects, and producing works of art that have been a source of pleasure not only to those with power to appreciate them as such, but to those also for whom familiarity with the scene depicted supplies an additional motive for acquiring an engraved representation of it. The recent complete, or practically complete, collection of Mi .H aig setchings shown at the rooms ofT lieF ine Art Society formed a striking exhibition of the lifes work of an artist, and the approval with which it was received has suggested that a volume reproducing a typical selection from these may prove acceptable. This has been rendered possible by the readiness with which Mr.
