Thomas Hosmer Shepherd
ARTISTThomas Hosmer Shepherd is known for his detailed watercolours, most of which show buildings. He worked mainly in London for the interior designer Frederick Crace. His main task was to paint buildings that were about to be demolished, but he also painted the buildings next to them. He drew not only the buildings, but also the city life with people and carriages, which makes his pictures come alive. Thomas Shepherd was obviously very fascinated by London. Thomas H. Shepherd was born in England in 1792. His only brother George Sidney Shepherd was also an artist and technical draftsman. Thomas was 8 years younger than his brother George. In memory of the artist, there is a blue plaque in 26th Batchelor Street indicating that Shepherd lives there. On the blue plaque is written with white writing Geschieben: "Thomas Hosmer Shepherd 1793-1864 Artist who portrayed London lived there" In many books there are illustrations where Shepherd's drawings have been used as models. But the artist's pictures are still very important for researchers today, as they give clues about the building industry, architecture and history in the 19th century.
