"Thomas Stothard RA (17 August 1755 – 27 April 1834) was a British painter, illustrator and engraver. Stothard was born in London, the son of a well-to-do innkeeper in Long Acre. A delicate child, he was sent at the age of five to a relative in Yorkshire, and attended school at Acomb, and afterwards at Tadcaster and at Ilford, Essex. Showing talent for drawing, he was apprenticed to a draughtsman of patterns for brocaded silks in Spitalfields. In his spare time, he attempted illustrations for the works of his favourite poets. Some of these drawings were praised by James Harrison, the editor of the Novelist's Magazine. Stothard's master having died, he resolved to devote himself to art. In 1778 Stothard became a student of the Royal Academy, of which he was elected associate in 1792 and full academician in 1794. In 1812 he was appointed librarian to the Academy after serving as assistant for two years. Among his earliest book illustrations are plates engraved for Ossian and for Bell's Poets. In 1780, he became a regular contributor to the Novelist's Magazine, for which he produced 148 designs. From 1786, Thomas Fielding, a friend of Stothard's and engraver, produced engravings using designs by Stothard, Angelika Kauffmann, and of his own. Arcadian scenes were especially esteemed. Fielding realised these in colour, using copper engraving, and achieved excellent quality. Stothard's designs had an exceptional aesthetic appeal. He designed plates for pocket-books, tickets for concerts, illustrations to almanacs, and portraits of popular actors." (Source: Wikipedia) "Thomas Garner (1789–1868) was a British engraver, best known for engraving plates for The Art Journal. Garner, born at Birmingham in 1789, received instruction in the art of engraving from Samuel Lines. He lived in Birmingham nearly all his life and was an active promoter of the study of art in Birmingham. He was also one of the founders of the Antique Academy there, later known as the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. Garner was of a modest and unassuming disposition and so was little known, but he was very much esteemed for his cultivated knowledge and artistic skill. He died at Birmingham on 14 July 1868. As an engraver, Garner did some of his best work for the annuals then in vogue, and also in subjects of local interest and portraits of local celebrities."
