WARD, WILLIAM (1766-1826)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 321 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WARD, WILLIAM (1766-1826) , English mezzotint-engraver, an elder brother of James Ward (q.v.), was born in London in 1766. He was the most distinguished pupil of J. Raphael
Smith
 , and executed a
great
  part of many of the plates which
bear
  the name of that excellent engraver. In 1795 he began to exhibit in the Royal
Academy
 , of which in 1814 he was elected an associate engraver. He also held the appointment of mezzotint-engraver to the prince regent and the duke of
York
 . He executed six plates after Reynolds, engraved many of the works of his brother-in-law, George Morland, and his mezzotints after Andrew Geddes, which include the full-lengths of Sir David Wilkie and of Patrick Brydone, are of
great
  merit. His engravings are full of artistic spirit, and show fine feeling for colour; and they are excellently tender and expressive in their rendering of flesh. He died in London on the 1st of December 1826.
