Creation/Production

Young, William Weston
William Weston Young (1776-1847), cousin of the physician, physicist and Egyptologist Thomas Young, pursued a varied career not only as an entrepreneur, surveyor and botanist but also as an artist. Between 1803 and 1806 he was employed by Lewis Weston Dillwyn as a draughtsman for his scientific publications, but he also worked as a painter at the Cambrian Pottery. His painting on ceramics is distinguished by its precise detailed manner and by the intellectual interests it demonstrates, whether cultural (such as bards and druids) or scientific (such as birds, butterflies and animals).

1770-1823
