William Telbin is an Impressionism artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

William Telbin filled thick sheets with stage machinery and forest glades, inking the scrolls of wings and flats for mid-1800s Shakespeare productions. His precise drawings of scenery and props survive from King Lear, Macbeth, The Tempest, Richard II, and A Winter’s Tale, all worked between 1851 and 1859.
