Henry Jackson Simpson: A Scottish etcher of still
life, animals, seascapes and landscape views of Aberdeen and its surrounding
areas, Henry Jackson Simpson studied at Gorden's College and Gray's
School of Art, Aberdeen. During the First World War he fought in France
with the Northumberland Fusiliers and was awarded the Military Cross
for bravery. When the war ended in 1918 he joined the family framing
business on Union Street, Aberdeen, and also worked as a consultant
for both Sotheby's and Christies. |

Henry Jackson Simpson first exhibited his etchings and watercolours
in Aberdeen in 1909. Until 1940 his art was regularly exhibited throughout
Scotland at such venues as the Royal Scottish Academy. Around 1920,
he began signing his etchings, 'Jackson Simpson', in order to avoid
confusion with another Aberdeen etcher. This beautiful landscape etching
entitled, The Invercauld Bridge, River Dee, is signed with this
name and thus dates from the 1920's era. |
