Print by James Thomson (1788 – 1850). An English engraver, known for his portraits. He completed his apprenticeship in engraving and then established himself independently, following the dot and stipple style. His engravings and paintings featured both leading figures of his day and those of previous periods.

He was appointed history painter to Queen Adelaide, Queen Consort of William IV, and painted Queen Victoria’s coronation in 1838 and the Duke of Wellington’s funeral in 1852. He supervised the painting of the huge panorama in the London Colosseum in Regent’s Park, London, and was the inventor of “Parris’s medium”.
