Frank Lewis Emanuel (usually signing as Frank L. Emanuel), was a British painter, etcher, teacher and writer who was born in Bayswater, London, on 15 September 1865, and died at St Charles Hospital, Kensington, in London, on 7 May 1948.
In his early years, he assisted to University College School, London. Later he studied under Alphonse Legros, at the Slade School of Fine Art, and under William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury at the Académie Julian in Paris.[1] He was a founder and Honorary Secretary of the Society of Graphic Art (SGA), an examiner for the Royal Drawing Society, and a member of the Art Workers' Guild and the Society of Marine Artists.[2] He taught etching at the Central School of Arts & Crafts between 1918 and 1930, and was the author of 'Etching and Etchings: a guide to the technique and to print collection', Pitman, 1930.
His work was often exhibited in several main galleries, including the Royal Academy[1][2] (almost annually for over forty years[3]), the Paris Salon, and in different countries like Australia, Germany, Holland, Japan, or the USA,[1] and was further popularized by his publication as postcards by the well-known firm Raphael Tuck & Sons.
