William Green was born in Manchester, son of a schoolmaster, due to his early ability he was sent to Dr Clarke's mathematical school in Salford to learn drawing and geometry. This allowed him to begin a career as a surveyor in 1778. Meeting with the historian and topographer Thomas West encouraged Green to develop his artistic abilities. He opened two drawing schools in Manchester and later spent a brief period in London where he exhibited at the Royal Academy. Green produced a significant body of work ranging from aquatints, etchings and water-colours which were detailed and scientifically observed pieces. He was permanently resident in the Lake District from about 1800, working from home in Ambleside and a studio in Keswick. He recorded his surroundings, venturing into hazardous terrain where there were no access roads, no way of keeping dry and where the only places to shelter were shepherd's cottages. In 1819 Green completed his major work The Tourist's New Guide to the Lake District. He died in April 1823 and was buried at Grasmere. His friend Wordsworth wrote his epitaph. abridged from the museum info at http://fp.armitt.plus.com/
