A Mounted Oval Woodbury Type Photograph of the celebrated Royal Academician. Born and educated in Liverpool. He became a prolific painter of animals and of Highland and Spanish scenes in the manner of Landseer. At his best he must be considered in the front rank of 19th century animal painters. Although the figures predominate in his pictures the surrounding landscape is equally well painted. He worked occasionally with Thomas Cressick, R.A., and etched a few plates of animals. He was a member of the Liverpool Academy and was elected President of it from 1837-1852.
