He was conscientious and industrious and worked at improving his plates. Known to his contemporarie sas the Poet-Laureate of the Nursery, his etching served as a contrast to the high-mindedly historical frescoes he painted to decorate the palace of Westminster. he was on the council of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers.
