Robert Walker MacBeth “Robert Macbeth” A nineteenth century Scottish painter and etcher of pastoral landscapes, Robert Walker MacBeth studied art in London and then worked as an artist and illustrator for The Graphic. He began exhibiting his art at the prestigious Royal Academy in 1871, as well as in Glasgow, Liverpool and at the Royal Scottish Academy. Robert MacBeth was a full member of the Royal Watercolour Society (1901), the Royal Academy (1883) and the Royal Engravers. Many of his etchings are included in the collection of the British Museum, London.

During the latter nineteenth century, Robert Walker MacBeth created a number of fine etchings either after his designs or the designs of contemporary artists, such as Burne-Jones. The Ferrywas completely designed and etched by the artist himself and shows the best qualities of Robert Walker MacBeth’s landscape art. This etching was commissioned by The Portfolio in 1880.
