Henry William Bunbury (1750-1811)
Henry William Bunbury (1750 -
1811) was the son of Sir William Bunbury of Mildenhall, Suffolk.
After completing his studies at Cambridge University he began to draw
caricatures and other comic subjects, the first of which were etched
and published in 1771. Bunbury then quickly rose to become one of the
greatest satirical artists of the day with his etchings such as the
series entitled, Hints to Bad Horsemen. He also became close friends
with the great artist, Thomas Rowlandson, who later engraved many of
Bunbury's designs. Throughout his career, Henry Bunbury enjoyed the
patronage of the Duke of York who appointed him his Equerry in 1787.

The Bunbury-Macklin Shakespeare
stipple engravings represent the best examples of this complicated
process. Macklin created 'The Poet's Gallery' (1788-1799), which became
England's second largest publishing house next to John Boydell's
'Shakespeare Gallery'.Macklin responded to Boydell's series by issuing
his own Shakespeare etchings from 1792 to 1796. These works of art,
however, were significantly different from Boydell's grandiose
engravings. The entire series of twenty-five engravings and etchings
was designed by Henry Bunbury, who chose mainly the comedies
John Chapman: One of the
most gifted stipple engravers of the late eighteenth century,
relatively little is known of the life of John Chapman. It is believed
he was born to a poor family and that most of his considerable skills
were self taught.
