Richard Short (fl. bef. 1750, aft. 1766)[1] was a military artist, best known for sketches he made of Quebec City, shortly after its capture by British forces.[2][3][4] The appearance of many of the old French régime's principal buildings are known only from Short's sketches. He is also known for his sketches of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and notable naval engagements of the times.[5]
