"The Cresset, 2nd State" is an etching by the renowned British artist Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs, who was a prominent figure in the etching revival movement of the early 20th century. Griggs, born in 1876, was known for his meticulous and evocative depictions of architectural subjects, often imbued with a sense of nostalgia and romanticism. His works frequently feature imagined or idealized landscapes and buildings that evoke the medieval and early Renaissance periods.

"The Cresset" is one of Griggs' most celebrated works, showcasing his exceptional skill in etching and his deep appreciation for historical architecture. The term "2nd State" refers to the second version or iteration of the etching, indicating that Griggs made alterations or refinements to the original plate before producing this version. This practice was common among etchers who sought to perfect their compositions through multiple states.

In "The Cresset, 2nd State," Griggs presents a detailed and atmospheric scene that captures the viewer's imagination. The etching features a towering, ancient structure, possibly a church or a castle, illuminated by a cresset—a type of metal container used to hold a fire or light. The intricate details of the stonework, the play of light and shadow, and the overall composition reflect Griggs' mastery of the medium and his ability to create a sense of timelessness and mystery.

Griggs' work is highly regarded for its technical precision and its ability to evoke a sense of place and history. "The Cresset, 2nd State" is a testament to his dedication to the craft of etching and his passion for the architectural heritage of England. Today, Griggs' etchings are held in high esteem by collectors and art historians alike, and "The Cresset, 2nd State" remains a significant example of his artistic legacy.
