Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs, often referred to as F.L. Griggs, was a prominent British etcher and draughtsman, renowned for his intricate and evocative depictions of the English countryside and architectural subjects. One of his notable works is "Ashwell, 2nd State Of 64, 1st," which exemplifies his meticulous technique and deep appreciation for historical and rural landscapes.

Griggs was born in 1876 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and he initially trained as an architect before turning to illustration and etching. His background in architecture is evident in the precision and detail of his etchings, which often feature medieval buildings, bridges, and pastoral scenes imbued with a sense of timelessness and tranquility. "Ashwell, 2nd State Of 64, 1st" is a testament to Griggs' skill in capturing the essence of English heritage through his art.

The etching "Ashwell" depicts the village of Ashwell in Hertfordshire, a place known for its historical significance and picturesque beauty. Griggs' rendering of Ashwell is characterized by its intricate line work and careful attention to detail, which bring out the texture and character of the village's architecture and natural surroundings. The "2nd State Of 64, 1st" notation indicates that this particular print is from the second state of the etching plate, which means that Griggs made revisions or adjustments to the plate after the first state. This practice was common among etchers who sought to refine their compositions and achieve the desired artistic effect.

Griggs' work is celebrated for its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and reverence for England's architectural and natural heritage. His etchings, including "Ashwell," are highly regarded for their technical excellence and emotional depth. Griggs was a member of the Royal Academy and the Society of Graphic Art, and his contributions to the field of etching have left a lasting legacy in the world of fine art.
