About
Why this artist matters now
Alexander Hay Ritchie was a Scottish engraver and printmaker whose steel and copper engravings circulated widely across Britain and North America during the Victorian era. Active from the mid-1800s until 1895, he produced both reproductive engravings and original prints distinguished by technical precision in line work. His mastery of steel and copper plate engraving established him as a significant practitioner within the nineteenth-century print trade, though comprehensive records of his major commissions remain limited.
