James Caulfield

In Cambridge for the sake of his health, he encountered Christopher Sharpe, a print collector, who gave him some etchings, and money to purchase more.

Backed by his father, Caulfield set up in business as a printseller in a small shop in Old Round Court, Strand.

In more prosperous times he had received the patronage of notable collectors including Earl Spencer, Charles Towneley, James Bindley, and Clayton Mordaunt Cracherode.

One of his sons seems to have entered into the business, as John Caulfield, "print and book seller, Little Newport Street, Leicester Square".

[1] In January 1826 Caulfield broke his kneecap, and was taken to Camden Town and the house of his brother Joseph, a music engraver and piano teacher.
