George Cuitt the Younger

He was born at Richmond, in Yorkshire in 1779, the only son of painter George Cuitt the Elder.

He followed his father's profession from his youth and added to it the art of etching, which he developed with great success, being induced to do so by a careful study of Piranesi's 'Roman Antiquities.'

About 1820, having realized a certain competence by his labours, he retired from the more active duties of his profession, and built a house at Masham, near Richmond, from where he published his Yorkshire Abbeys, and in 1848 his collected works, under the title of Wanderings and Pencillings amongst the Ruins of Olden Times.

These etchings exhibit considerable talent, verve, originality, and truth.
