Charles George Lewis (13 June 1808 - 16 June 1880) after Sir Joshua Reynolds PRA FRS FRSA (16 July 1723 - 23 February 1792) Window of New College Chapel (1814) Aquatint with original hand colouring 30 x 22 cm An engraving of one of New College Chapel's magnificent stained glass windows, designed by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1777. Sir Joshua Reynolds was one of England's leading portraitists in the 18th century; he was also a founder and first president of the Royal Academy of Arts. Charles George Lewis was a British printmaker, and engraved many works after other artists as well as producing his own. He was he second son of Frederick Christian Lewis and learned drawing and engraving from his father. Rudolph Ackermann was an Anglo-German bookseller, inventor, lithographer, publisher and businessman. In 1795 he established a print-shop and drawing-school at 96 Strand. Here Ackermann set up a lithographic press and began a trade in prints. He later began to manufacture colours and thick carton paper for landscape and miniature painters. Within three years the premises had become too small and he moved to 101 Strand, in his own words "four doors nearer to Somerset House", the seat of the Royal Academy of Arts. Between 1797 and 1800 Ackermann rapidly developed his print and book publishing business, encompassing many different genres including topography, caricature, portraits, transparencies and decorative prints.
