Brewer, H. W. (sold)


H. W. Brewer (1836 - 1903) was a London based architectural illustrator active in the late 19th century. Brewer specialized in aerial views of cities for such British magazines as The Builder and The Graphic. Brewer was well respected in this field and was especially admired for his graphic "restorations" of historic buildings and even cities. Despite this, Brewer was known as a humble map without ambition who frequently avoided public praise for his well-known work.
