You'll be glad to know that the only other person described as a "landscape/antiquarian" on Google is the Irish artist O'Brien

His pictures are bostin, totally Turner.
I guess to paint like that you have to look and look to see the truth of the landscape, so maybe that's a perfectly fair description for what you do.

Not bad company :-) Don't know if I can use the term if someone else has though ...

Looking at that page again Peter Harbison (a great writer in his own right) is not saying he is an landscape antiquarian.

"... the work of this remarkable landscape/antiquarian/figure watercolourist ..."

He's just saying he's a remarkable landscape, antiquarian & figure watercolourist, it would seem no one else does use that term. I'll have that thanks :-)
