Ellicott, a Quaker, was raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His father was a prosperous miller whose family founded Ellicott City, Maryland in 1775. Andrew Ellicott was trained to be a mathematician and surveyor. He conducted several large surveys with David Rittenhouse, the Philadelphia astronomer, mathematician, and clockmaker. President Washington in 1791 asked Ellicott to survey the bounds of the District of Columbia. The following year Washington asked him to complete L'Enfant's plan for the city. Ellicott made some changes to L'Enfant's plan. He changed the alignment of Massachusetts Avenue, eliminated five short radial avenues, added two short radial avenues southeast and southwest of the Capitol, and named the city streets. In less than one month Ellicott had a plan ready for the engravers. A few months later Ellicott, like L'Enfant, found himself at odds with the Commissioners and resigned from the project.

English engraver. He was educated in Ghent, Belgium, and later at the Royal Academy Schools, London, where he was awarded silver medals in 1839 and 1841. He worked in the mixed mezzotint style and exhibited 43 examples of his work at the Royal Academy between 1841 and 1893. Of Stacpoole’s many plates, perhaps the best-known are those after William Holman Hunt’s Shadow of Death (1873; Manchester, C.A.G.) and the battle subjects of Lady Butler. Stacpoole began work early in 1874 on the engraving of Shadow of Death . The original picture had been bought by Thos Agnew & Sons and was exhibited so widely that, on publication of the engravings in 1877, the sale of proofs alone realized more than £20,000. By January 1879 Stacpoole had received a total of £3560 from the Fine Art Society for his plates after Lady Butler’s Roll Call (1874; British Royal Col.; declared for publication in 1874), Quatre Bras (1875; Melbourne, N.G. Victoria) and Balaclava (1876; Manchester, C.A.G.; both declared in 1876).
