Born in London, Abraham Raimbach (1776 1843) was one of the most
celebrated engravers of his time. Published in 1843, these memoirs
recount his career and give expanded first-hand observations on
contemporary artists and public figures. Included is an extensive
account of his two months in Paris in 1802, including impressions
of its people and food (on frog's legs: 'I did not much like the
flavour'), together with details of the numerous works of art he
viewed. He muses on the possible reasons for the higher social
standing afforded to artists in France than in Britain, and seems
concerned, as travellers are today, about how far his money will
stretch whilst in France. Also included is a short biography of
Raimbach's principal collaborator, the painter Sir David Wilkie,
written by Raimbach's son. This memoir will be of interest to
social and art historians of the early nineteenth century.
