About the Artist: Born on January 30, 1785, in Fulham, Southwest London, Isaac Wane Slater was named after his maternal grandfather, Isaac Wane, a London grocer. He is often confused with his older brother, Joseph Slater, Jr. -- the two of whom are often conflated into the erroneous identity of Joseph W. Slater. In 1808, following in his deceased father's footsteps, Isaac joined the Company of Dyers, a guild in the textile industry. He also worked as a miniature portrait painter and engraver. Exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts (1805-1836). Was a lifelong resident of London, but traveled regularly to Worcester for months at a time seeking commission for portraits. There, he married Ann Ursula Holdsworth on September 14, 1831. He died five years later, on April 17, 1836. Listed by Benezit, Blättel (pages 838, 839), Foskett (pages 646, 647) and Schidlof (page 760).
