William Pether
William Pether (1738?–1821) was an English mezzotint engraver.
==Life==
He was born at Carlisle about 1738, and became a pupil of Thomas Frye, with whom he entered into partnership in 1761.
Pether was a fellow of the Incorporated Society of Artists, and contributed to its exhibitions paintings, miniatures, and engravings from 1764 to 1777. He was also an occasional exhibitor with the Free Society and the Royal Academy. He had many pupils, including Henry Edridge and Edward Dayes. He often changed his residence from London to the provinces and back again; and gradually sank into obscurity and neglect.
At the beginning of the 19th century Pether appears to have settled at Bristol, where he made a living as a drawing-master and picture-cleaner; and there he engraved portraits of Edward Colston the philanthropist, after Jonathan Richardson the Elder, and Samuel Syer, the historian of Bristol (1816). Pether died in Montague Street, Bristol, on 19 July 1821, aged 82 or 83, having long been forgotten in the art world.
