The Master of Cherryburn
Today the Queen Mother opens a museum on the banks of the Tyne, dedicated to the life and work of Thomas Bewick , an artist whose delicate engravings of the richness of nature around him in his native North East give him a place as one of the great masters in British art history.
Paul Allen talks to some of those involved in establishing the museum on the site of Bewick's house and workshop at Cherryburn, and assesses the contribution he made, both to natural history and to the art of engraving.
