Artist Biography

Lawrence Jossett was a mezzotint engraver born in 1910. Josset studied at Bromley School of Art and subsequently in the School of Engraving at the Royal College of Art, where he was taught by Robert Austin and Malcolm Osborne. He also worked for a year at Waterlow's, the banknote engravers. After a brief spell of teaching, he embarked on what was to be a freelance career spanning more than 60 years. Josset's plates were commissioned by various prominent print-publishers, among them. Fores of Piccadilly and the Bristol-based Frost & Reed. Josset spent the last 34 years of his life in the secluded Kent village of Detling, a setting entirely appropriate to his quiet, unassuming nature.
