Ambrose William Warren (1780-1856)
Ambrose Warren is erroneously listed as Alfred Warren in Bryan’s Dictionary and in Mackenzie’s and Redgrave’s. His biography is further complicated in Bryan’s by the claim that he was the son of engraver Charles Turner Warren. In fact, he was his brother (Royal Academy Website and Mackenzie).
Ambrose engraved many plates encompassing portraits and topographical views. Additionally, and among many other illustrative works, he produced the plates for Alexander Pope’s An Essay on Man.
