William Henry Mote

William Henry Mote (1803–1871) was an English stipple and line engraver, primarily known for his portraits. He produced etchings for reference books, as well as original etchings. Mote became a member of the Royal Academy in his twenties and his portraits hang in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Life

Mote was first mentioned in publications as working under the supervision of Charles Heath when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. He became a member of the Royal Academy when he was roughly twenty eight years old. He also was one of many engravers to sign a petition addressed to the King and the Royal Academy in 1837 to protest the limitation of engravers to distinction as "associates". His sons are listed as engravers in contemporary census records and the London Directories. It is unknown exactly how much Mote's sons worked under their father's name.

He was commissioned by King George IV to produce an engraving for the Greenwich Hospital, which was presented a year after King George's death. Mote often etched portraits of royalty. Mote also worked with female artists, and a high percentage of his etchings found their way into publications produced by women.
