Born on October 7th 1803, he was the son of Wilson Lowry, an engraver who raised him into the art, and cousin on his mother’s side to future British economist David Ricardo. From both of his parents he received an appreciation for both science and art, and he focused mainly on scientific topics in his publications. Some of his largest works are Encyclopædia Metropolitana, engravings done of the London Bridge for Sir John Rennie, and journals for The Institution of Naval Architects and the Royal Geographical Society. He was appointed later on to the Geographical Survey of Great Britain and Ireland. Joseph Wilson Lowry died unmarried and without children in London on June 15th, 1879 at his home on Hampstead Road.
