Haden, who was also a distinguished surgeon, is celebrated for his contributions to the revival of the art of etching in the 19th century. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere.

The etching "Calais Pier" depicts the bustling activity of the French port of Calais, a subject that resonated with many artists of the time due to its dynamic and picturesque qualities. Haden's composition masterfully balances the intricate details of the pier's architecture with the lively movement of figures and vessels, creating a vivid snapshot of maritime life. The scene is rendered with a keen observational eye, showcasing Haden's skill in conveying both the physical structure of the pier and the ephemeral qualities of the surrounding environment.

Haden's technique in "Calais Pier" reflects his deep understanding of the etching medium. He employed a variety of line work, from fine, delicate strokes to bold, sweeping lines, to create a sense of depth and texture. This approach not only highlights the physicality of the pier but also captures the play of light and shadow, lending the work a dynamic and atmospheric quality.

"Calais Pier" is a testament to Haden's ability to blend technical precision with artistic expression. It stands as a significant example of his oeuvre and contributes to his legacy as a pivotal figure in the history of printmaking.
