He learnt etching from Malcolm Osborne and Frank Emanuel at the Central School of Art. Richard Morphet in his introduction to the Tate Gallery catalogue stated (p.14): ‘From the sale of the contents of the studio of Arthur Hacker (d.1919) he [Frampton] bought the press on which, soon after acquiring it, he printed his only two etchings, a country scene near Dieppe [<span>P11080</span>] and an etching after his oil <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/p/portrait" title="Glossary definition for 'Portrait'"><span>portrait</span></a> of his father of 1919 [</span><span>P11081</span><span>].' In the Tate catalogue entry for a Frampton portrait of Lord William Cecil, Morphet states (p.58) that the Frampton family stayed at Varengeville, Normandy, which is in the Dieppe area, from time to time, and had done so since the artist was a child. <span>P11080</span> exists in more than one state, and the reproduction of ‘Near Dieppe' in the Tate Gallery catalogue shows another state, in which differences are apparent, including foreground trees and branches, shadows at left, and details of trees and field patterns in the middle distance. </span>
