Charles John Tomkins (1847 - c.1894) was a 19th
century engraver whose work was declared to the
Printsellers' Association.
George Morland (1763-1804) was a painter of
landscapes and sentimental rustic scenes. Son of the
painter, Henry Robert Morland, to whom he was
apprenticed in 1777, George Morland was precocious,
gifted and dissolute, spending much of his later career
facing a debtor's prison, despite the popularity of his
work.
