1770 – 1854

English engraver and painter. He worked as an apprentice fishmonger, a lawyer's clerk, a house painter and a bookseller, before he began painting miniatures and watercolour copies of popular engravings. He also had a talent for mezzotint engraving, and this career came to a well-publicized climax in 1819 with the appearance of the large mezzotint after George Henry Harlow 's The Court for the Trial of Queen Katharine, owned by Thomas Welsh.Show more
