Henry Brocas

His engravings featured portraits, caricatures, and topographical views which were published in Dublin periodicals and magazines.

One of his early political caricatures appeared in Exshaw's Magazine in 1784 entitled The loves of the fox and the badger.

He produced engraved portraits of the most famous people of his day, including Walter Hussey Burgh, John Foster, and Earl Fitzwilliam.

[1] In 1801 he was appointed Master of the Landscape and Ornament School of the Royal Dublin Society, a position he held until his death,[4] despite being considered a poor teacher.

He was regularly reprimanded by the School for his poor timekeeping and unpredictable methods, and was suspended for a period in December 1832 for "insubordination and disobedience of orders".
