English painter (1794-1869)
Samuel Jackson was an English watercolourist and oil painter who has been called the "father" of the Bristol School of art. He also contributed a number of drawings of scenes from Bristol to the topographical collection of George Weare Braikenridge. The Braikenridge Collection makes Bristol's early 19th-century appearance one of the best documented of any English city.
