Alfred Charles Stanley Anderson (1884–1966) was a British landscape artist and engraver. Anderson is most known for his fine engravings of traditional British crafts which he produced from the 1930s onwards for which he was awarded a CBE in 1951. Born in Bristol, the son of a silver engraver, Anderson attended the Merchant Venturers' Technical College, Bristol, and took classes at Bristol School of Art. Stanley learned to etch on metal whilst he was doing an heraldic engraving apprenticeship. He became a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers as an associate in 1910, becoming a fellow in 1923. In 1925, he became the engraving tutor at Goldsmiths' where he taught the artist Graham Sutherland. He became an associate of the Royal Academy in 1934 and a full member in 1941. Anderson was known for his works commenting on society and he famously was vocal in his concern for the threat to rural crafts.
