"The Spirit of the Book or, Anticipation of the Year 1813, " a beautifully coloured engraving from that era, transports us to an era filled with anticipation. In "Returning Justice Lifts Aloft Her Scale, " published by G, we witness justice prevailing as it is lifted high for all to see.

Similarly, "Back of the Mills" offers a glimpse into daily life during this period - an intimate portrayal that invites contemplation. As we move forward in time to 1813, Crome presents us with "Front of the New Mills. " This piece showcases industrial progress while maintaining his signature attention to detail and atmosphere. Meanwhile, at Bawburgh and Colney villages captured by Crome in etchings from that same year transport us directly into their charming streetscapes. Delving deeper into Crome's artistic repertoire reveals his mastery over various mediums. In his soft ground etching titled "Study Tree Trunks Lane ca 1812, " he skillfully captures intricate details amidst nature's splendor. Likewise, "Study Three Trees January 12th, 1812" evokes a sense of tranquility through delicate graphite strokes. John Crome (British, 1768-1821) left behind an indelible mark on art history with his diverse body of work.
