Charles Mottram
Charles Henry Mottram was a British engraver, mainly in the medium of steel engraving.
While Mottram was born on 9 April 1807 – probably in England – his exact place of birth and parents are unknown.
Among his many other engravings, Mottram's best-known works include four illustrations published for the first time in 1857: three based on The Last Judgement, a triptych of paintings by John Martin, and Boston Harbor. Another work familiar to many people is Off Portland based on a painting by John Wilson Carmichael. Mottram died on 30 August 1876 in Camden Town, London.
He was the grandfather of a prominent New Zealand artist, Charles Howorth.
