Garroway, Abel (McKechnie Section 2)

Although several artists named Garroway are listed in standard reference works on art, I have found no reference to an artist of this name whose first name was Abel. Three silhouettes in the Worthing Museum and Art Gallery, inscribed by Galloway, have been described to me. They are painted on paper and individually mounted and framed, apparently all three on the same mount. The following inscription is written on one corner of the left-hand side of the mount: ‘Drawn by Abel Garroway in 1803/R.G.R. F.S.A.’ The meaning of the initials ‘R.G.R.’ is unknown to me.
