Description: | After this fine line drawing of a lobster was made, the outline was traced onto a thin copper printing plate. Extra details were drawn directly onto the plate, which was then engraved for prints to be made. The print, whilst still wet on the paper, could be transferred onto pottery. This design was made for 'the late Isaac Cookson, Esq, to ornament lobster pots'. The original copperplate is on permanent display in the Laing Art Gallery's exhibition, 'Art on Tyneside', along with Beilby glass, Newcastle silver and works by Thomas Bewick and his apprentices. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1800 to 1849 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Robert Elliot Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
