專家說明


Joseph Crawhall II (1821–1896) was a wood engraver, amateur painter and writer, as well as a businessman, patron of the arts, and campaigner for the preservation of architecture, especially in his home town of Newcastle. He was a friend of Charles Keene (1823–1891), illustrator for Punch, and they worked together on over 200 drawings for the journal.
