Thomas Hosmer Shepherd
Acuarelas arquitectónicas topográficas detalladas
Thomas Hosmer Shepherd fue un artista británico de acuarelas topográficas, conocido por sus pinturas arquitectónicas. Thomas era el hermano del artista topográfico George «Sidney» Shepherd. Thomas fue contratado para ilustrar la arquitectura en Londres y más tarde en Edimburgo, Bath y Bristol. Sus pinturas fueron la base de los grabados en acero en muchos libros (véase la bibliografía). Shepherd's work, mostly topographical, is characterized by an attention to detail, along with lifelike scenes that contained people, carriages and horses. His first acclaim came with Metropolitan improvements, a publication of modern London architecture commissioned by the publisher Jones & Co. He worked mostly for Frederick Crace, who employed him to paint old London buildings prior to their demolition, with much of the work surviving in the Crace collection at the British Museum. Shepherd vivía en Batchelor Street, en Islington, al norte de Londres. Su residencia está marcada con una placa conmemorativa.
