David Octavius Hill introduced him to Sir George Harvey, after which point he reproduced many of Harvey's paintings in engraved form. He gained particular notoriety for his engraving ''The Curlers'' which led to his acceptance into the Royal Scottish Academy, the only engraver admitted. In the 1830s he is listed as living and working at 227 High Street on Edinburgh's Royal Mile.〔http://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/pageturner.cfm?id=83400675&mode=transcription〕 He died on 20 December 1850 at 8 Frederick Street, Edinburgh, and is buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the centre of Edinburgh. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Howison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
