George Cattermole

George Cattermole (British, 1800–1868) has 11 public-domain artworks in the Archive Lane archive, each available as a digital download or a made-to-order print.

George Cattermole was a British painter and illustrator, his paintings chiefly in watercolours. Unusually for watercolourists of the period, most of his paintings are figure scenes, often interiors with a crowd of figures, illustrating scenes from history or literature, or just genre scenes in historical costume, and he "became the foremost British historical painter in watercolours". He was a friend of Charles Dickens and many other literary and artistic figures. He declined both a knighthood and the presidency of the "Old" Watercolour Society.
