Not de-framed. Cameron's etchings, which he printed himself, were only published in small editions, as the artist refused to have the copper plates steeled. Painter and pre-eminent Scottish etcher, DY Cameron became a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers in 1895. His architectural etchings gave him a worldwide reputation through his special exhibitions in New York in 1895 and in the Gutekunst Gallery in London in 1898. At the International Art Exhibition in Munich in 1905 he was awarded the gold medal.
