Printmaker and painter born in Norwich. Watson was amongst the earliest Fellows of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers, joining after the ‘Allcomers’ exhibition in Spring 1881. After the founding of the RE in 1880 by Seymour Haden, the Council, which included Alphonse Legros, issued an open invitation to all etchers to participate in an exhibition which was eventually to become the Society’s annual shows. The response was enormous and nearly 500 etchings were exhibited and membership leapt proportionately. Watson was one of fifty-five artists to be elected RE in 1881. He had taken up etching in 1872 while based in Norwich before moving to London about 1888. A prolific exhibitor he showed at the FAS, GI, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, MAFA, RA, RBA, RHA, RI, ROI, Agnew's, Dudley Gallery, and Dowdeswells. He was married to the artist Minna Bolingbroke and his work is in the collection of Perth Art Gallery, Australia. He died at Hammersmith.
