William H. Lizar (1788-1859) was a ‘Scottish genre painter, etcher and line and aquatint engraver of topographical views, decorative, historical and natural history subjects and portraits …Born in Edinburgh,he … studied at the Trustee's Academy. On the death of his father, in order to support his brothers and sisters, he was forced to abandon painting and take up engraving, starting by producing banknotes. He engraved the first ten plates for J.J. Audubon's Birds of America ‘. However, when work was halted by a strike of colourists in his shop, Audubon transferred the project to the shop of R,Havell II.' [British Prints, Ian McKenzie, p236] Amongst other works, he did plates for W.Jardine and the Naturalist's Library. – The plates here are original coloured steel engravings; the paper size measures 16,5 x 9,5 cm.
