Moses Haughton the Younger

Moses Haughton (7 July 1773 – 26 June 1849) was a British engraver and painter, often of miniatures.

Born in Wednesbury in the Black Country, the nephew of the painter Moses Haughton the elder, he moved to Liverpool in 1790.

There he became a friend of William Roscoe and possibly studied under George Stubbs before enrolling at the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1795.

[1] In 1796 William Roscoe mentions Haughton as a 'young engraver' of note.

[3] Amongst his notable portrait subjects were Erasmus Darwin and Sir Joshua Reynolds.
