William Brocas
William Brocas belongs to the British school of satire and social observation around the turn of the nineteenth century, working chiefly in etching. His prints pair fine linear work with hand-applied colour, a roulette adding tone to the caricatural figures and scenes he favoured. The archive holds a single example of this practice: a hand-coloured etching with roulette dated 1810, titled Les Invisibles (The Invisible Ones), with impressions up to that year.
