William Forrest
​(1805-1899)

William Forrest antique  engraving
William Forrest (1805-1899)
 
Little is known about the life of William Forrest. He was Scottish – the British Museum records 50 George Street, Edinburgh as his address – Mackenzie states that ‘he seems to have worked in Edinburgh and London’.
His surviving prints reveal that he engraved landscape and biblical scenes after old master painters and his contemporaries; his engraving of Loch Ness and Castle Urquhart after John Fleming, right, being a typical example.
