Description: | Robert Pollard was originally apprenticed to the Newcastle silversmith John Kirkup. He later became an established copper engraver in London. He had become friendly with the north-east wood-engraver Thomas Bewick as a young man, and they continued to keep in touch. Pollard used the wood-engraving technique for this silhouette portrait of himself. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1785 to 1795 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Robert Pollard | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
