Lot Essay

James Burrell Smith was a pupil of Thomas Miles Richardson (1784-1848), whose influence can be seen in his work. Between 1843 and 1954 he lived in Alnwick, Northumberland before moving to London as a drawing master with Dickenson of Bond Street. Thereafter he built up an extensive teaching practice.
