William Roscoe Prints and Multiples

English, 1753-1831

William Roscoe was born on March 8th, 1753, in Liverpool’s Mount Pleasant and that is where he was laid to rest when he died in 1831. He was the only son of William and Elizabeth Roscoe. A reformer, poet, educationalist, historian, botanist, a doyen of the arts, lawyer and banker. He is best known as one of England's first abolitionists, and as the author of the poem for children The Butterfly's Ball, and the Grasshopper's Feast. In his day, he was also respected as a historian and art collector, as well as a botanist and miscellaneous writer. Many of his collection of paintings, dispersed in auctions during his financial troubles, remained in Liverpool and later reached the Walker Art Gallery, which in 2015 had extra labels marking them out as once part of Roscoe's collection. Roscoe was a relatively early collector of the Italian Primitives. He died on 30 June 1831 and was buried in the Unitarian Graveyard at Mount Pleasant, a memorial plaque that indicates the approximate spot of his grave.

The cyanotype (a.k.a. sun-print) process is one of the oldest in the history of photography, dating back to the 1840's. Cyanotypes were then made famous by Anna Atkins, considered the first female photographer. Inspired by nature, we feel the need to look back at a craft that is handmade, analogue, and using an all-natural light source: the sun. Our cyanotypes are made by coating high-quality Italian watercolor paper with a light-sensitive emulsion. We then expose it in direct sunlight for several minutes using a photo negative...
