William James Linton was a talented artist and engraver who left an indelible mark on the art world. His works, such as "The Dalles of St. Louis" in 1874, showcased his ability to capture the beauty of nature with intricate detail. Linton's skill was evident in his piece "Gotha - from His Royal Highness Prince Albert's drawing" from 1845, where he brought to life a scene envisioned by royalty. One of Linton's most striking pieces is "The Spouting Horn in a Storm" created in 1872. This artwork perfectly captures the raw power and intensity of nature during turbulent times. In addition to his landscapes, Linton also excelled at portraiture, as seen in the engraving titled "The late Mr W J Linton. " This self-portrait showcases his mastery of capturing emotion and personality through his work. Linton had a knack for depicting bustling city scenes as well. In "Leadenhall Market on Christmas Eve, " created in 1845, he captured the festive atmosphere and excitement surrounding this special time of year. Another example is "Newgate Market on Christmas Eve, " which transports viewers back to Victorian London with its lively depiction of market-goers enjoying holiday shopping. His attention to detail shines through in pieces like "Poulterer's shop, Holborn-Hill" from 1845, where every feathered creature seems ready for purchase. And it wouldn't be Christmas without Linton's charming illustration titled "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. " Created in 1845, this piece exudes warmth and joy that still resonates today. Linton wasn't limited to just landscapes or cityscapes; he also immortalized famous figures such as Lord Byron through engravings like Thorwaldsen's statue from 1845. Additionally, he paid tribute to Queen Victoria with his marble statue in the Royal Exchange, showcasing his versatility as an artist.
