Wood-engraver, mezzotint and line engraver, little is known about Welby Sherman aside from the fact that he was a friend and pupil of Samuel Palmer and belonged to "The Ancients," the artistic brotherhood based at Shoreham, Kent in the late 1820s and early 1830s. According to the British Museum, this mezzotint is the only survivor of an abortive project to make a series of mezzotints after Palmer's work in the manner of David Lucas's series after Constable.
