Charles Oliver Murray 'Charles O. Murray': A Scottish etcher of landscapes, architectural subjects, portraits and historical views, Charles Oliver Murray studied at the Edinburgh School of Design and at the Royal Scottish Academy Schools. During the latter nineteenth century, Charles Oliver Murray produced many fine etchings and engravings after the designs of such contemporary artists as Alma-Tadema, Charles Whymper and W. G. Stevenson. By 1900, however, he turned to etching his own designs and created some sought after views of both Oxford and Cambridge colleges.
