Stothard

Stothard, THOMAS, R.A. (1755-1834), designer, was the son of an innkeeper in Long Acre. Having attracted attention by his plates for the Town and Country Magazine and the Novelists' Library, he became a student of the Royal Academy in 1778. His illustrations of The Pilgrim's Progress and Rogers's Poems are among his happiest efforts. He was also a painter of great merit.
