Henry Bromley
Edit ProfileCareer
He was an English writer on art and author of the Catalogue of Engraved Portraits. He was perhaps connected with the Wilson family of Kendal, which intermarried with that of Bromley. Wilson belonged to a mercantile firm in the city of London, and was a regular attendant at Hutchins"s auction-rooms, where he was detected on one occasion abstracting prints.
He also frequented the sale-room of Nathaniel Smith, father of the antiquary, John Thomas Smith (1766–1833).
The date of Wilson"s death is unknown. His portrait was engraved by Barrett.
