Caroline Watson and female printmaking in late Georgian England
Tue 23 September 2014 - Sun 4 January 2015
Fitzwilliam Museum
Caroline Watson ( 1760/61 - 1814) was one of the most skillful engravers working in late 18th century England. She can be seen as the first British professional woman engraver.
This exhibition shows a selection of her portrait and subject prints, together with those of other contemporary women printmakers. It is accompanied by a catalogue by David Alexander, Honorary Keeper of British Prints, which outlines Watson’s career and relationship with artists such as Sir Joshua Reynolds. The catalogue includes a checklist of the hundred or so prints that she produced throughout her lifetime as well as a transcription of fascinating letters to William Hayley, the writer who employed her to illustrate his Life of George Romney.
