century.  George Murray, born in Scotland, died in Philadelphia in 1822, organized the bank-note and engraving firm of Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co., in 1810-11, the best note engravers in this country in their day.  John Vallance, also born in Scotland, died in Philadelphia in 1823, was one of the founders of the Association of Artists in America, and Treasurer of the Society of Artists in Philadelphia in 1810.  James Smillie (1807-85), born in Edinburgh, died in New York, was celebrated as an engraver of bank notes and as an engraver of landscapes.  Among his best works are Cole’s series “The Voyage of Life,” and Bierstadt’s “Rocky Mountains.”  Dr. Alexander Anderson (1775-1870), the “Bewick of America,” born in New York of Scots parentage, at the age of ninety-three engraved some illustrations for Barbour’s “Historical Collections of New Jersey.”  Robert Hinschelwood, born in Edinburgh in 1812, studied under Sir William Allen, was landscape engraver for Harpers and other New York publishers and also engraver for the Continental Bank Note Company.  John Geikie Wellstood, born in Edinburgh in 1813, was another eminent engraver.  In 1858 his firm was merged in the American Bank Note Co., and in 1871 he founded the Columbian Bank Note Company of Washington, D.C.  He also made many improvements in the manufacture of banknotes.  Charles Burt (c. 1823-92), born in Edinburgh, died in Brooklyn, a pupil of William Home Lizars of Edinburgh, did some fine plates and portraits for books and for several years was one of the chief engravers for the Treasury Department in Washington.  Hezekiah Wright Smith, born in Edinburgh, in 1828, engraved portraits of Daniel Webster, Edward Everett, and his head of Washington, after the Athenaeum head by Gilbert Stuart, is said to be “the best engraving of this famous portrait ever made.”  Nathaniel Orr (b. 1822), of Scottish ancestry, retired in 1888 “with the reputation of having brought the art of wood engraving to the highest perfection, and the signature ‘Orr,’ cut in the block was always a sure guarantee of art excellence.”  Robert Shaw, born in Delaware in 1859 of Scottish parentage, has made a reputation by his etchings of famous historical buildings.  His etching, the “Old Barley Mill” ranks as one of the best etchings made in this country.  A few other Scottish engravers who produced good work were Robert Campbell, William Charles (d.  Philadelphia, 1820), Alexander L. Dick (1805), W.H.  Dougal (he dropped the “Mac” for some reason), Helen E.
