Francis Seymour Haden, CMG FRCS PPRE (September 16, 1818 – June 1, 1910) was a noted physician and surgeon who dedicated much of his free time to creating primarily landscape etchings. He was well recognized in his lifetime and was knighted by Queen Victoria. He was champion of original print making and became the founder of the Society of Painter-Printers (now the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers) where he became their first president. In addition to having a large print collection, he was regarded as an expert on Rembrandt prints, with his book on the subject being well received and recognized. James Abbott McNeill Whistler was his younger brother-in-law and he was greatly influenced by Haden’s advice and craft. Their rivalry caused a breech in their relationship (Whistler threw Haden through a window) which was never mended. Haden’s work is still available on the market at more than reasonable prices and it is deserving of attention by collectors. These etchings reflect a world that no longer exists and offers a view of tranquility, which probably no longer existed in his time and certainly not in our time. Haden was a successful surgeon and good with his hands and had great precision which is reflected in his etchings. He usually carried a copper plate with him so that he could etch his images plein-air and not lose the moment. As opposed to Whistler, Haden is strictly English but his images reflect a universal view. Taste, technology and methods change and his etchings will seem antiquated, lacking size and bright colors. Each print reflects a lost world, which history has passed by. I am an active dealer in older prints and have seen first-hand how neglect decimates prices. Maybe it is time to look at these etchings, not as antiquities, but rather as alternative views of our world. Please note that the images of Haden and of his art are not all inclusive but have been selected by me. This is not a catalogue raissonne but rather a guidebook for museums, galleries and collectors. It is intended as an easy reference paperback handbook and is not intended to be definitive.
