John Callcott Horsley (1817 - 1903) was a painter, etcher and draughtsman on wood. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1864, and also served at the institution as the professor of drawing. Horsley was a member of The Etching Club; an artists' society founded in London in 1838 by Charles West Cope. In addition to regular folios such as 'Etched Thoughts', the club published illustrated editions of works by authors such as Oliver Goldsmith, Shakespeare, John Milton and Thomas Gray. The plates were made at meetings, later revised, and then commercially sold.
