(1802 - )
Little is known of the engraver William Greatbach. His large engraving of ‘The Waterloo Banquet’, after Salter’s original painting, was published by printseller and publisher Sir Francis Graham Moon (1796-1871) in 1846 and proved popular. The engraver also produced a print of ‘The First Day of Oysters’ (1846) by genre and domestic painter Alexander George Fraser (1786-1865) and, in the 1840s, contributed to a series of 15 plates after works by miniature painter George Perfect Harding (1779/80-1853). His success was such that he was able to take a pupil, Charles Henry Jeens (1827-1879), in the early 1850s.
