an enameller, it was a most important thing toknow that a rival to his art was coming into the field.Having seen those Bow prints so beautifully anddelicately engraved and transferred, we can easilyunderstand why a man of rare ability and taste, likeWilliam Duesbury, would be dissatisfied with therougher work achieved by Richard Holdship and hisengravers. Moreover, there was also the Worcestertransfer work of Hancock which must have beenknown to Mr. Duesbury, and which was so muchsuperior, artistically, to the other mans.

Holdship may have done transferringwork there. We do not know ; neither do we knowmuch more about this interesting old spot. As notedin another part of this volume Radford seems to haveworked at Shelton as well. He probably died inStaffordshire. His name is enrolled as engraver onthe map hst given by Chaffers for 1802.
