НазваниеMonochrome print of John Smeaton, 18th century civil engineer
Создатель John Sewell (publisher), Mather Brown (painter), William Bromley (engraver)
ОписаниеMonochrome print engraving of the engineer John Smeaton, apparently cut out from a copy of the 'European Magazine.' From a painting 'in the Possession of Alexr. Aubert Esq.' A half-length portrait of Smeaton seated in a chair, with a lighthouse visible behind his right shoulder - this is the Eddystone Lighthouse built from 1755 to 1759, which Smeaton designed.
A caption beneath the image gives publication information for the print, and basic biographical information on Smeaton as a civil engineer, Fellow of the Royal Society, and as having been born in Austhorpe, Yorkshire, in 1724. He died in 1792, and this print was produced 1 December that year.
John Smeaton designed lighthouses, canals, harbours and bridges. He worked in civil and mechanical engineering, and was also a physicist.
