Description: Master print published by Ward, London in 1804. Our definition of master print is: a seperately published print or series of prints, not being an illustrative print to a text. These can both be prints made by old masters (artists) or prints made by others (artists, engravers, etchers) after old masters.
Artists and Engravers: Made by ‘William Ward’ after ‘James Ward’. William Ward (1762-1826) was an English engraver of mezzoting and stipple engravings, the son of James and Rachael Ward, and the elder brother of James Ward. The partnership of William and James ward produced the best that English art and engraving had to offer. William was married to Maria Morland (sister of engraver George Morland). James Ward (1769-1859), R.A., was a painter, particularly of animals, and an engraver. He was the younger brother of William Ward, engraver.
