"Environs De Gravesend" is a notable etching by the French artist Félix-Hilaire Buhot, created in 1879. This work exemplifies Buhot's innovative approach to printmaking, particularly his use of the "symphonic margins" or "marges symphoniques," which are additional elements or vignettes surrounding the central image, intended to enhance the mood or narrative of the main subject. "Environs De Gravesend" captures a scene near Gravesend, a town on the Thames River in Kent, England, reflecting Buhot's fascination with atmospheric effects and maritime subjects.

Buhot's technique in this piece, as in many of his works, demonstrates a masterful blend of etching, drypoint, aquatint, and soft-ground etching, showcasing his skill in creating rich textures and depth. The artwork is characterized by its detailed depiction of the maritime landscape, with boats and figures subtly integrated into the scene, enveloped by a misty, evocative atmosphere. This piece not only highlights Buhot's technical prowess but also his ability to evoke a sense of place and mood, making it a significant example of his contribution to the etching revival of the late 19th century.

"Environs De Gravesend" has been appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insight into the landscape and life along the Thames during the Victorian era. The work is held in several prestigious collections and has been exhibited in various art institutions, underscoring its importance in the oeuvre of Félix-Hilaire Buhot and in the broader context of 19th-century French printmaking.
