Rosenberg, Thomas Elliott (McKechnie Section 3)

See Section Six for main entry

The eldest son of Charles Rosenberg. Thomas Elliott appears to have worked mainly as a drawing master and miniature painter. He is included here because of the references to 'Rosenberg and Son' in directory entries for 1812, which suggest that he may have assisted his father in the production of silhouettes for a short period. We know too little about his silhouette work to distinguish it stylistically from that of his father. As he was a competent miniature painter, he may in fact have been responsible for any of the better silhouettes painted c. 1812 and bearing the later trade labels of his father.
