Moses Griffith, topographer, draftsman, watercolourist and engraver, spent his life in the service of Thomas Pennant, antiquarian and amateur naturalist; although engaged as a servant, he was employed by Pennant as a full time artist from 1771. With Pennant acting as his 'agent', Griffith also undertook work with other patrons, contributing, for example to Grose's Antiquities of England (from 1773). He made hundreds of watercolours of Welsh views and is represented in Welsh and English cultural institutions.
