Proofs from these plates have been much valued; in fact, Strang's portrait etchings have inaugurated a new See also:form of reproductive See also:portraiture
.
A portrait which is a work of art and can be reproduced a number of times without losing any of its art qualities is one ideal way of recording appearances, as such prints can be treasured by many owners
.
Strang produced a number of good paintings, portraits, nude figures in landscapes, and See also:groups of peasant families, which have been exhibited in the Royal Academy, the See also:International Society, and several See also:German exhibitions
.
He painted a decorative seriesof scenes from the See also:story of See also:Adam and See also:Eve for the library of Mr See also:Hodson of See also:Wolverhampton; they were exhibited at the Whitechapel exhibition in 191o
.
Some of his drawings from the nude See also:model in See also:silver point and red and See also:black See also:chalk are very beautiful as well as powerful and true
.
He also painted a number of landscapes, mostly of a small See also:size
.
In later years he See also:developed a See also:style of drawing in red and black chalk, with the whites and high See also:lights rubbed out, on See also:paper stained with See also:water See also:colour
.
This method gives qualities of ,delicate modelling and refined form and gradations akin to the drawings of See also:Holbein
.
He See also:drew portraits in this manner of many members of the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")

Order of Merit for the royal library at See also:Windsor See also:Castle
.
In 1902 Strang retired from the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, as a protest against the inclusion in its exhibitions of etched or engraved reproductions of pictures
.
His work was subsequently seen principally in the exhibitions of the Society of Twelve, of the International Society, to which See also:body he was elected in 1905, and of the Royal Academy
.
Strang was elected an See also:associate engraver of the Royal Academy when that degree was wisely revived in 1906
