1730 - 1809
Paul Sandby (1730 - 1809) was hired by the Military Drawing Office to work on a survey of Scotland and later became Drawing Master at the Royal Military College at Woolwich. He became the most successful topographical artist of his time and a founder member of the Royal Academy. His watercolours, sometimes disparagingly called 'tinted drawings', were frequently made with the intention of being published as etchings or aquatints in books of views or of historical sites.
