Biographical Details	A ‘Mr Anderson’ exhibited a copy of a tripod, after the design by James ‘Athenian Stuart’, at the Free Society of Artists in 1761 (2). He is thought to be the Danish immigrant engraver, chaser and ormolu manufacturer Diederich Nicholaus Anderson, who lived in the Parish of St Ann, Soho, and was elected an artist member of the Society of Arts in 1758. He is probably the ‘modeller and chaser’ Nicolaus Anderson who was listed in Garrard Street, Soho, in Mortimer 1763, 3. He died in 1767, leaving all his estate to his wife, Penelope.
