Comments
‘RICHARD HAMILTON ESSEX was a frequent exhibitor at the Old Water-Colour Society from the date of his associateship in 1823; he never passed to full membership [and resigned in 1837]. He depicted our ancient Gothic buildings with great skill, and chose his subjects from the church architecture of this country and the Continent. He exhibited also at the Royal Academy and at Suffolk Street and made a series of drawings of the architecture and stained glass of the Temple Church, published in 1845 by Weale. He died in 1855 at Bow in his fifty-third year.’
