William Strang (1859-1921) learned printmaking in the late 1870s at London's Slade School of Art, where he studied with the French political refugee Alphonse Legros. The populist ideals of Legros determined both his own choice of subjects as an artist and his rigorously realistic style. William Strang absorbed similar values, attending to the lives of working people and the poor with respect and restraint. The prints seen here are mainly from collections at the British Museum and were obtained directly from the artist and his descendants.
