Description: | This portrait of Thomas Bewick is probably from a design by Bewick's friend James Ramsay. (Ramsay showed Bewick in a similar pose in a painting entitled 'The Lost Child'). In this scene, Bewick stands by the banks of the River Tyne, with Newcastle in the distance. The engraving was made over twenty years after Bewick's death, showing how his fame continued. It was produced by the London engraver Frederick Bacon, and was published in both Newcastle and London. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1852 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | James Ramsay | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
