Biography
Little is known about this artist. He may have been an art teacher in Edinburgh in the late 18th century. In 1780-1781 he produced seven aquatints of Edinburgh subjects including Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Heriots Hospital and some more general views. Copies of these are held in the Edinburgh Room, Central Public Library. He is not to be confused with a more famous painter of the same name who died in 1760.
