William Turner Davey

It was Davey's reproductions of historical paintings which brought him to prominence: such as Eastward Ho! August 1857 by Henry Nelson O'Neil (showing British soldiers taking leave of their loved ones as they embark at Gravesend for India, in the wake of the Indian Mutiny), its companion Home Again, and the acclaimed large engraving in mixed mezzotint of Lady Butler's painting Return from Inkerman.
