William Angus
Kingdom of Great Britain
William Angus is a Kingdom of Great Britain Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
William Angus turned copper into crisp portraits, etching faces and coats-of-arms into plates for books and prints. In 1782 he rendered the Rt. Hon. Lord Hood in gleaming metal, capturing the admiral’s uniform and posture with fine lines. His work belongs to the era when engravers’ tools were as important as the press itself. Tap “Rt. Hon. Lord Hood” to see the plate’s sharp grooves and the way ink sinks into the etched lines.
