BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This attractive print was published in ca. 1780.

Biography engraver: David Deuchar (1743-1808) was a goldsmith, seal engraver, and an amateur etcher. Born in Angus, Scotland, he followed in his father Alexander’s footsteps, who was originally a farmer but became a lapidary in Edinburgh. David Deuchar gained renown as a seal engraver and was one of the first to recognize the talent of the future portrait painter, Henry Raeburn.
