context_page_description: Lumb Stocks RA was a British engraver. In a long career he produced engravings from paintings by notable artists of the day.
context_section_description: In 1853 Stocks was elected an associate engraver of the Royal Academy of Arts, and in 1855 became an associate engraver of the new class, which rendered him eligible for the higher rank of academician, to which he was elected in 1871.
  About 1859 he engraved for the Art Union of Glasgow "Many Happy Returns of the Day", after Frith, which was followed by a series of plates illustrating "The Dowie Dens of Yarrow", after Sir Joseph Noel Paton, and later by "The Gentle Shepherd", after David Wilkie, and "O Nannie, wilt thou gang wi' me?" after Thomas Faed, for the Association for the Promotion of the Fine Arts in Scotland.
  In 1865 he engraved for the Art Union of London "Claude Duval," after Frith. In February 1866 it commissioned him to engrave The Meeting of Wellington and Blücher after the Battle of Waterloo, the mural by Daniel Maclise measuring 44 inches (110 cm) by 12 inches (30 cm) in the Royal Gallery of the House of Lords.
  Also for the Art Union of London he engraved "Dr. Johnson waiting for an Audience of Lord Chesterfield", after Edward Matthew Ward; and "Stolen by Gipsies: the Rescue", after John Bagnold Burgess, which had been left unfinished by Charles Henry Jeens.
  Among other and later works by Stocks were "Charlotte Corday in the Conciergerie" and "Marie Antoinette listening to the Act of Accusation the day before her Trial", after E. M. Ward; "Detected", by John Callcott Horsley; "The Fight Interrupted", after William Mulready; "The Odalisque" and "The Sister's Kiss", after Sir Frederic Leighton; "The Silken Gown", after Thomas Faed; "Olivia and Viola", from "Twelfth Night", after Sir Joseph Noel Paton; "A Souvenir of Velasquez" and "The Princes in the Tower", after Sir John Everett Millais; and "A Spanish Letter Writer", after John Bagnold Burgess.
