ST PANCRAS STATION - LIMITED EDITION GICLEE PRINTS (2007), & ETCHINGS (1990)
St Pancras station, the Midland Hotel and the Kings Cross area of London.
St Pancras station has regained its former grandeur with its opening as an international station by Eurostar. I have decided to reissue my 1980s St Pancras station etchings as limited edition Giclee prints and greetings cards. In doing so I have taken the opportunity to “digitally re-master” the images ever so slightly and remove some of the more annoying scratches and foul biting that has irked me for years. Personally, I am extremely pleased with the result but for anyone who would prefer the original etching: they are also available below. Please also see What is an etching? for an explanation of the original etching process

A Brief History Of St Pancras Station
St Pancras train station was designed by William Barlow in 1863 with construction commencing in 1866. The famous Barlow train shed arch spans 240 feet and is over 100 feet high at its apex. On its completion in 1868 it became the largest enclosed space in the world. One of the most recognisable features of St Pancras station today, the red brick Grade 1 listed Gothic front facade was created as part of a competition in 1865 and became the Midland Great Hotel designed by Sir Gilbert Scott and built between 1868 to 1876.
In 1935 the Midland Grand Hotel was closed and the building became railway offices, known as the St Pancras Chambers. The greatest threat to the station came in 1966 with plans to amalgamate King's Cross and St Pancras. However public opinion had been sharpened by the demolition of Euston in 1962. Sir John Betjeman took up the cause to protect the station and in 1967 the Government listed the station and hotel as Grade 1.
St Pancras remains one of the greatest Victorian buildings in London, with impressive Victorian Gothic architecture. A replica of the famous St. Pancras station clock has been constructed and hangs high above the station platform once more.

AN INTRODUCTION TO ETCHING
Etching is one of the oldest and most satisfying forms of printmaking and in the hands of a expert can deliver intricacies of line and tone unrivalled by any other printimaking process. From time to time Ryepress will be running short introductions to etching at the studio in Hastings. See Etching for an explanation of the etching process
