William Walker
​(1729-1793)

William Walker Antique Engraving
William Walker (1729-1793)
 
Walker was the younger brother of Anthony Walker and is recorded as having been born in Thirsk, Yorkshire (Anthony was born in either Thirsk or Salisbury). William was initially apprenticed to a dyer before moving to London where he was taught the art of printmaking by his brother.
William produced engravings for numerous publications and for publisher John Boydell. Bryan’s Dictionary attributes the etching process of re-biting to him.
