Frederick Christian Lewis (1779–1856) was an English etcher, aquatint and stipple engraver, landscape and portrait painter and the brother of Charles Lewis (1786–1836).〔(Old & antique prints - etching )〕 ==Life== He studied under J. C. Stadler and in the schools of the Royal Academy and aquatinted most of Thomas Girtin's etchings of Paris, 1803. He made transcripts of drawings by the Old masters for William Young Ottley's〔(''Ottley, William Young'' )〕 ''Italian School of Design'' 1808-12 and executed plates for the publisher John Chamberlaine's ''Original Designs of the most celebrated Masters in the Royal Collection'', 1812. He engraved Sir Thomas Lawrence's crayon portraits and was engraver of drawings to Princess Charlotte, Prince Leopold, George IV, William IV, and Queen Victoria. He also painted landscapes, mainly of Devonshire scenery and published several volumes of plates depicting the Devonshire rivers between 1821 and 1843, as well as etchings of the ''Scenery of the Rivers of England and Wales'' 1845-7. Lewis transformed numerous natural history paintings by Philip Reinagle into aquatints. His superlative skills as engraver led to frequent commissions from Royalty, and to his contribution to J. M. W. Turner's ''Liber Studiorum'', a collection of seventy-one etchings with mezzotint, greatly influencing landscape painting.〔(Donald Heald Original Antique Books Prints and Maps )〕
