Sir David Young Cameron was a prominent Scottish painter, etcher and dry point artist, particularly of landscapes and architectural views. Born in Glasgow, he studied part time at Glasgow School of Art and then progressed to the Life School of the RSA in Edinburgh as a full time student . He completed most of his 500 etching plates in Scotland although the period 1892-1909 also saw views of London, the Continent and Egypt. He was to become one of the best known etchers of his time, despite not developing his own very personal style until 1893 when he began to emphasise the grandeur of landscape and develop a sombre mood imbued with mysticism. Exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours, the Glasgow Institute and elsewhere.
