From Wikipedia
It was Hankey's black and white and colored etchings of the people of Étaples, several developed from paintings, which gained him a reputation as 'one of the most gifted of the figurative printmakers working in original drypoint during the first thirty years of the 20th century'. One that is particularly striking for its stylistic presentation was "The Refugees", above, his contribution to raising awareness of the consequences for ordinary people of the German invasion of France and Belgium in 1914.

Already established as a watercolour painter, WILLIAM LEE-HANKEY R.E. took up etching in 1904. He took an early interest in colour prints, often printing two editions from his plates, one in monochrome and one in colour. HEe was a founder member of the Society of Graver-Printers in Colour, 1909-10, and the Society’s Secretary. Some years later, with Nelson Dawson, he organised a School of Colour Printing in Hammersmith.
His early prints are in aquatint, while his later works are generally in drypoint. For aquatint, rather than the more usual resin ground, he experimented with ‘textile’ grounds, impressing textured muslin or other material, even heavily textured paper, into a soft ground. Prints such as “The First-Born”, above, from early in his etching career, are scarce today.
