John Stamper

  • Artist (Draughtsman)
During the 1850s Stamper left his Paddington residence to go on sketching trips with the colonial watercolourist John Hardwick. In a wash drawing worked on by the two, Stamper shows his playfulness by signing it 'John Stamper R.A.', though he was no Royal Academician.
