George Cuitt the Younger
Illustration — Welsh Hovel at Machynllaeth, etching, 1814 George Cuitt the Younger (1779 – 1854) was an etcher and painter. He was born in Richmond, in Yorkshire in 1779, the only son of painter George Cuitt the Elder. He followed his father's profession from his youth and added to it the art of etching, which he developed with great success, being induced to do so by a careful study of Piranesi's 'Roman Antiquities.' He went to Chester, where he became a teacher of drawing, and published, in 1810 and 1811, Six Etchings of Saxon and other Buildings remaining at Chester, Six Etchings of Old Buildings in Chester, and Six Etchings of Picturesque Buildings in Chester and, in 1815, five etchings for a History of Chester.
