A sepia printed stipple portrait of Paul Sanby, turned to right wearing a hat. Robert Pollard (c.1755 - 1838) was a painter, engraver and publisher. He apprenticed alongside Bewick under Beilby. He studied painting under Richard Wilson and then turned to engraving, working for Isaac Taylor. His son was Robert Pollard, with whom he worked as Pollard & Sons between 1817 and 1828, while also kept publishing under his own name alone. Paul Sandby (1731-1809) was a British watercolourist and printmaker. Born in Nottingham, he moved to London in 1745 where he joined his older brother, Thomas Sandby, at the topographical drawing room of the Board of Ordnance, at the Tower of London. He played an important part in the survey of the Scottish Highlands after the Jacobite Rebellion. From the 1750s he was involved in the campaign to found the Royal Academy. In 1768 he was appointed drawing master to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. He made a number of satirical etchings, notably against Hogarth in 1753-4 and the early 1760s. He often collaborated with his brother in providing figures for topographical watercolours. He learned aquatint from Burdett in December 1773. O' Donohughe 11 |
