Hedley Fitton (c. 1858-1929) was an England
engraver and printmaker noted mainly for his architectural etchings. His
etchings included street scenes and important cathedrals in London, Florence,
Edinburgh, and Paris. In 1907 the Société des Artistes Français awarded Fitton
a Gold Medal for his work.
His work was exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Society
of Painter-Etchers and Engravers, Royal Watercolour Association and at the
Paris Salon.
Hedley Fitton was familiar with the old windmills on the
southeast coast not far from London and produced a popular etching called
"The Two Mills". His best known works are "The Pantheon,
Rome" and "The Rose Window, Notre Dame". His etchings depict
many of the venerated landmarks of the time.
