William Finden
​(1787-1852)

William Finden antique engraved print
William Finden (1787-1852)
 
William was born in London and studied engraving under James Mitan (1776-1822).
Together with his brother, Edward Finden, he illustrated and published a number of volumes including Landscape Illustrations to the Life and Work of Lord Byron, The Gallery of Graces, The Royal Gallery of British Art and The Beauties of Thomas More. According to Bryan’s Dictionary, these latter two publications ‘involved the Findens in a great loss from which they never recovered.’
