_ At Roxley, in Hertfordfhire, Mr. Robert 
Thew, hiftorical engraver to the Prince of 
Wales. He was born in Yorkthire, about 
the year 1758, and was a man of extraordi-_ 
nary mechanical genius, which had but little 
cultivation, as his education was almoft en~ 
tirely negle&ted. He was apprenticed to a- 
cooper, and which trade he afterwards for 
fome time followed ; he then applied himfelf 
‘to the ftudy of optics, and made a very cus 
rious camera obf{cura, on a new principle, 
which gained him the patronage of. the Mar- 
quis of Carmarthen (afterwards Duke of 
Leeds) 5 at about the age of twenty-eight, 
happening to fee an engraver at work, though 
. he had never praétifed ‘drawing, he got a 
coppet-plate, and engraved an old woman’s 
_ head,from a painting by Gerard Dowe, which 
firft attempt was fo extraordinary, that, on 
the recommendation of Charles Fox, the 
Duchefs of Devonfhire, and Lady Duncannon, 
she was appointed hiftorical engraver to the 
Prince of Wales. In the year 1788, the 
Marquis of Carmarthen wrote him a recom= 
mendatory letter to Alderman Boydell, who 
imimediately offered him 300 guineas to ene . 
grave a plate from Northcote’s pidture of 
King Edward V. taking leave of his brother, 
the Duke of York. He has fince engraved 
for Boydell, a number of capital plates from 
the Shakefpeare Gallery, and from the paint- 
ings by Sir J. Reynolds, Shee, Weftall, 
Smirke, Fufeli, Northcote, Peters, &c. and 
which are very extraordinary {pecimens of 
graphic excellence. Mr. Thew was an artift 
whofe works have been highly and deferved- 
ly approved by the connoiffeur, and, as fuch, 
Well received by the public. Of Boydell’s 
Shakefpeare, zineteen of the large plates are 
from his hand. The purfuit of engraving he 
never attempted till the age of fix or feven 
and twenty ; and then, without any inftruc~ 
tion, and depending folely on native genius, 
aided by an intenfe application, he fuddenly 
arrived at the zenith of excellence in the art. 
Almoft at the outfet of bis career, he became . 
conneéted with Mefizs. Boydells, by extenfive 
engagements on their Shakefpeare, a work 
which will long bear ample teftimony to his
