Sir Francis Seymour Haden
The brother-in-law of Whistler, Haden's best work was executed in the early 1860s, shortly prior to which Haden and Whistler lived together, working jointly on an unfulfilled project of etchings of the Thames. Haden also spent some time in Ireland in Co. Tipperary, and his works produced there have been rated as some of the finest landscape etchings of the nineteenth century. He was a founding member and president of the RE, and also pursued a career as an eminent physician, attending, among others, Queen Victoria. Haden's etchings are represented in the collections of the V&A and the British Museum. www.whytes.ie
