Engraver:	Taylor, William Dean (London, 1794 - 1857)
Designer:	Lawrence, Sir Thomas (Bristol, 1769 - London, 1830)

Note:	William Dean Taylor: An early British nineteenth century engraver, William Dean Taylor studied art in London at the Royal Academy Schools. Excelling at both portraits and figure studies, Taylor's first published engravings date from 1820. During the following thirty years he received many commissions to work for major London art publishers, such as Colnaghi.
	Duke of Wellington (Sir Arthur Wellesley, 1769-1852) is now regarded as Taylor's greatest work of engraved art. Created shortly after Sir Thomas Lawrence completed the painting (which is now at Apsley House), Taylor's engraving immediately won popular acclaim. It is one of the finest contemporary engraved portraits of this distinguished Field-Marshal and Prime Minister that one can find.
	Sir Thomas Lawrence: The son of an innkeeper, Thomas Lawrence became one of England's greatest portrait artists of any age. As an early child he showed exceptional ability for drawing and, at the age of ten, gained a reputation for his pencil portraits of guests at his father's inn. Such celebrities as Mrs. Siddons had their portraits drawn by this self-taught, child prodigy.
	In 1787, Thomas Lawrence moved to London. The following year (at age nineteen) his first painted portrait was accepted for the Royal Academy exhibition. Lawrence was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1791, a full Academician in 1794, and President in 1820. He was also an honourary member of the Academies of Vienna, Florence, Venice and Copenhagen. In 1825, the King of France awarded him the Cross of the Legion of Honour.
