David Law: A nineteenth century painter, watercolourist and etcher, David Law was apprenticed to a steel engraver at an early age. In 1845 he was admitted into the Trustees' Academy, Edinburgh, where he studied under Alexander Christie and Emslie Dallas for the following five years. In 1851, David Law gained employment in the Ordinance Survey Office and engraved maps for the following twenty years.
At the age of over forty David Law decided to dedicate himself completely to artistic pursuits and came to London. By 1873 he was exhibiting his art at many major institutions, including the Royal Academy. David Law was an original Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, Royal Society of British Artists and the Scottish Society of Painters in Water-Colour.
David Law became most famous for landscape etchings, particularly river views of the Thames and elsewhere. A number of his etchings were commissioned by the leading art journals of the day. Such is the case with Dittisham on the Dart, which was published by the Magazine of Art, London. The Magazine of Art (founded 1878) was a late nineteenth and early twentieth century annual dealing with contemporary art, both at home and abroad. Most of its annual volumes contained an original etching by a leading British artist, inserted as a frontis-piece.
