Description: | This etching, intended as a bookplate, was executed for John Anderson (1757-1829), a successful Newcastle merchant who traded with Russia and the Baltic Sea ports. The scene shows a picturesque stretch of the River Tyne and Bywell Hall. The artist Robert Elliot Bewick, gave this proof impression to Richard Wingate. Wingate, a close friend of Thomas Bewick, was a respected ornithologist and taxidermist (the 'bird stuffer' Bewick called him). | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: unknown | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Robert Elliot Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
