THOMAS (1755—1834) , See also:English subject painter, was See also:born in See also:London on the 17th of See also:August 1755, the son of a well-to-do innkeeper in See also:Long See also:Acre. Being a delicate See also:child, he was sent at the See also:age of five to a relative in See also:Yorkshire, and attended school as Acomb, and afterwards at Tadcaster and at See also:Ilford in See also:Essex. Showing a turn for See also:drawing he was apprenticed to a draughtsman of patterns for brocaded silks in See also:Spitalfields, and during his leisure See also:hours he attempted illustrations to the See also:works of his favourite poets. Some of these drawings were praised by See also:Harrison, the editor of the Novelist's See also:Magazine, and; Stothard's See also:master having died, he resolved to devote himself to See also:art.
In 1 778 he became a student of the Royal See also:Academy, of which he was elected See also:associate in 1792 and full academician in 1794. In 1812 he was appointed librarian, having served as assistant for two years. He died in London on the 27th of See also:April 1834.
Among his earliest See also:book illustrations are plates engraved for See also:Ossian and for See also:- BELL
- BELL, ALEXANDER MELVILLE (1819—1905)
- BELL, ANDREW (1753—1832)
- BELL, GEORGE JOSEPH (1770-1843)
- BELL, HENRY (1767-1830)
- BELL, HENRY GLASSFORD (1803-1874)

- BELL, JOHN (1763-1820)
- BELL, JOHN (1797-1869)
- BELL, ROBERT (1800-1867)
- BELL, SIR CHARLES (1774—1842)
Bell's Poets; and in 178o he became a See also:regular contributor to the Novelist's Magazine, for which he executed one See also:hundred and See also:forty-eight designs, including his eleven admirable illustrations to Peregrine See also:Pickle and his graceful subjects from Clarissa and See also:Sir See also:Charles Grandison. He contentedly de-signed plates for See also:pocket-books, tickets for concerts, illustrations to almanacs, portraits of popular players—and into even the slightest and most trivial sketches he infused a See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)
- GRACE, WILLIAM GILBERT (1848– )
grace and distinction which render them of value to the collectors of the See also:present See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time. Among his more important See also:series are the two sets of illustrations to See also:- ROBINSON, EDWARD (1794–1863)
- ROBINSON, HENRY CRABB (1777–1867)
- ROBINSON, JOHN (1575–1625)
- ROBINSON, JOHN (1650-1723)
- ROBINSON, JOHN THOMAS ROMNEY (1792–1882)
- ROBINSON, MARY [" Perdita "] (1758–1800)
- ROBINSON, SIR JOHN BEVERLEY, BART
- ROBINSON, SIR JOSEPH BENJAMIN (1845– )
- ROBINSON, THEODORE (1852-1896)
Robinson Crusoe, one for the New Magazine and one for Stockdale's edition, and the plates to The See also:Pilgrim's Progress (1788), to See also:Harding's edition of See also:Goldsmith's See also:Vicar of See also:Wakefield (1792), to The See also:Rape of the See also:Lock (1798), to the works of See also:Gessner (1802), to See also:Cowper's Poems (1825), and to The Decameron; while his figure-subjects in the superb See also:editions of See also:Roger's See also:Italy (1830) and Poems (1834) prove that even in latest age his See also:fancy was still unexhausted, and his See also:hand hardly at all enfeebled. He is at his best in subjects of a domestic or a gracefully ideal sort; the heroic and the tragic were beyond his See also:powers. The designs by Stothard were estimated by R. N. Wornum to number five thousand, and of these about three thousand have been engraved. His oil pictures are usually small in See also:size, and rather sketchy in handling. Their colouring is often See also:rich and glowing, being founded upon the practice of See also:Rubens, of whom Stothard was a See also:great admirer. The " Vintage," perhaps his most important oil See also:painting, is in the See also:National See also:Gallery. He was a contributor to See also:Boydell's See also:Shakespeare Gallery, but his best-known painting is the " Procession of the See also:Canterbury Pilgrims," also in the National Gallery, the See also:engraving from which, begun by See also:Luigi and continued by Niccolo See also:Schiavonetti and finished by See also:- JAMES
