Thomas Hosmer Shepherd Libri

Thomas Hosmer Shepherd fu un pittore topografico ad acquerello, noto per i suoi dipinti architettonici. La sua opera si distingue per un'attenta cura dei dettagli, catturando scene realistiche popolate da figure, carrozze e cavalli. L'arte di Shepherd servì da base per incisioni in numerose pubblicazioni, ottenendo il suo primo successo con un lavoro incentrato sull'architettura moderna di Londra. Documentò anche antichi edifici londinesi prima della loro demolizione, preservando così un importante archivio visivo.
