Thomas
Bury
was
born in 1811. After training as an architect under A.W.N.
Pugin,
Bury became an artist. In 1831 two sets of prints were published of
his paintings of the Liverpool & Manchester
Railway. The books published by Rudolf
Ackerman
were a great success and it has been argued that they are the best
known pictures of railways ever produced. Despite the success of his
railway pictures, Bury never returned to this subject during the rest
of his career. Thomas
Bury
died in 1877.
