John Black Carmichael (1811-1857)
Carmichael was a painter, etcher, art teacher and engraver. Despite being ‘deaf and dumb’, a distinguishing handicap often mentioned in relation to his work, Carmichael was nevertheless regarded as one of the most competent engravers in Sydney. He is also notable for having been one of the earliest free emigrant artists to pursue a lifelong professional career in New South Wales.
