He was the son of English parents, and born at Cincinnati, U.S.A., in 1848. The earlier part of his life was devoted to drudging in the studios of various photographers in Cleveland and Chicago, retouching photographs, and drawing the crayon portraits, in the photographer's manner popular in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Happily he joined his friend Otto Bacher in a pilgrimage to Europe in 1878, and thereafter remained in Munich or the neighbourhood for the rest of his life. He kept almost exclusively to landscape, both as painter, draughtsman, and etcher, but secured little recognition until quite the end of his life, and then only a limited circle. He cannot, we think, be regarded as a great individuality, nor take high rank as an etcher. Occasionally his etching fails through overloading with detail, through a certain prettiness, which shows some kinship with the weaker kind of Seymour Haden's etchings, such as the Rivers in Ireland.'"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.1703-1898"],"accessionNumberNum":"1703","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":1898,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-12","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-30","availableToBook":false}}
