Samuel Fisher, Artist and Engraver

[Stumped!]

I have recently begun researching my 3x great grandfather, Samuel Fisher.

I have found him on the 1841 census in London where his occupation is given as artist. (HO107 656/6 31 16).

When his son married in 1859 he stated that his father was deceased and had been an engraver.

If I Google "Engravings by Samuel Fisher" I come up with numerous hits of his work stating that he was flourishing as an engraver between 1830 and 1851 or '55. having studied at J V Barber's academy in Birmingham before moving to London.

Does anybody know whether there are any directories of early 19th century engravers or where I should next go to try and establish the range of his work?

If you will PM me with your email address I will scan two of his engravings and email them to you. I have many thousands of engravings but only 2 by S. Fisher.

His engraving was of a very high quality so it was a pleasure.
