Frederick George Byron
Frederick George Byron belongs to the late eighteenth-century British school of satirical and antiquarian printmaking, working chiefly in hand-colored etching and aquatint. His subjects turn on character types and the learned obsessions of his day, rendered with the light caricatural touch typical of the period. The archive holds a single sheet by him, an example titled "An Antiquarian," produced in etching and aquatint with hand coloring. Impressions up to 1789 represent the dated output recorded for these sheets.
