Mitchell engraved in mezzotint Tapageur, a fashionable Member of the Canine Society, after Sir Edwin Landseer (1852) and The Parish Beauty (1853) and The Pastor's Pet, a pair after Alfred Rankley (1854). In the mixed style he engraved The Happy Mothers and The Startled Twins, a pair after Richard Ansdell, R.A. (1850), and Christ walking on the Sea, after Robert Scott Lauder (1854). Several of his etched plates were completed in mezzotint by other engravers.^[1]
