John Donowell

John Donowell was an eighteenth-century British architect and engraver, considered to be the equivalent of Thomas Sandby and Thomas Malton as one of the principal architect-draughtsmen in the third quarter of the eighteenth century. He exhibited in 1761 at the Free Society, then through the 1760s at the Society of [Artists of Great Britain|Society of Artists], and from 1778 to 1786 at the Royal Academy; prints, some hand-coloured, were published at this time.
Donowell made a number of topographical drawings, mostly views of London, such as of the Grand Walk in the then-fashionable Marylebone Gardens.
