William Roxby Beverly
William Roxby Beverly or Beverley (c.1810–1889) was an English theatrical scene painter, known also as an artist in oils and watercolour. William John Lawrence, writing in the ''Dictionary of National Biography'', considered him second only to Clarkson Stanfield among British scene painters of the 19th century.
==Early life==
He born around 1810 at Richmond, Surrey into a theatrical family, one of four sons and one daughter of William Roxby (1765–1842), an actor-manager, whose took the stage name of William Roxby Beverl(e)y; he was the youngest, Henry Roxby Beverley, Robert Roxby and Samuel Roxby being elder brothers. Under his father's management of the Theatre Royal, Manchester, in 1830, he painted a notable scene of the "Island of Mist" for the dramatic romance ''The Ice Witch, or the Frozen Hand'', an early play of John Baldwin Buckstone. The effect is thought to have been achieved by the use of gauze.
When in 1831 his father and his brothers Samuel and Robert Roxby took over the control of the Durham circuit,〔Comprising Scarborough, Stockton, Durham, Sunderland, and North and South Shields.〕 Beverley joined them, and for a few seasons played heavy comedy besides painting scenery. In December 1838 he was engaged to paint the major portion of the scenery for the pantomime of ''Number Nip'' (E. L. Blanchard) at Edinburgh, where his main contribution was a moving diorama, depicting scenes from William Falconer's poem ''The Shipwreck''. On 16 September 1839 his brother Harry Beverley assumed the control of the Victoria Theatre in London for a short time, and there he painted for the first time in London, executing the scenery for the pantomime of ''Baron Munchausen''.〔
In December 1842 Beverly was engaged as principal artist by John Knowles of the Theatre Royal, Manchester; and 1845 he executed an act drop for the new Theatre Royal that remained in use for 25 years. His scenery for the opera ''Acis and Galatea'' was seen there in June 1846.〔
