Blair's Graphic illustrations of Warwickshire (1823-9); about 1825 he expanded the printing and engraving business and moved his residence to George Street, Edgbaston, leaving the joint business at 18 Edmund Street and 34 New Street, Birmingham; his reputation as a landscape engraver was enhanced by the 97 plates done for Thomas Roscoe's Wanderings and excursions in North Wales and ... South Wales (1836); his plates were usually signed W. Radclyffe, W. Radcliffe or W. Radcliff; from 1814 he took an active part in the promotion of the local artistic community; he died in Birmingham on December 29, 1855)
