Night Time, Dieppe 1926

Edmund Blampied's 1926 etching, *Night Time, Dieppe*, is a powerful depiction of the twilight hours in a bustling French town. Using subtle variations in light and shadow, Blampied creates a sense of atmosphere and movement, capturing the energy of a busy street scene. The composition features a horse-drawn cart, shrouded in darkness, and figures in the background, hinting at a vibrant social life unfolding after sunset. This work is a prime example of Blampied's mastery of etching, a technique that perfectly captures the interplay of light and shadow in a nocturnal setting.
