by Richard Dighton

This is an example of the lithographic portraits produced by Richard Dighton from 1835 onwards, essentially following the same format as the etchings. Though Richard drew directly onto the lithographic stone himself, the printing was done by George Rowe, 1796-1864. Rowe had established the town's first lithographic press in 1833. He was one of the most prolific topographcial printers in England and later moved to Australia were he became a watercolour painter of some repute.
