(1818 - )
Wood engraver and etcher Horace Harral exhibited his work between 1862 and 1876, mainly at the Royal Academy. From 1852 he shared an office at 17 Essex Street, near the Strand, with wood-engraver William Luson Thomas, founder of ‘The Graphic’. Harral and Thomas moved to 11 Serjeants' Inn, Fleet Street, in 1856 and to 4 Palgrave Place, the Strand, in 1860. Harral worked as an illustrator for ‘The Graphic’ and for ‘Dark Blue’ magazine. He also produced plates for the ‘Illustrated London News’, along with his brother Alfred, and engraved illustrations for Robert Southey’s ‘Life of Horatio Lord Nelson’ (1813). In addition, he produced a series of theatrical photographs of friends and associates, which demonstrate his skill as a photographer.
