When Macbeth exhibited his painting The Ferry Inn at the Royal Academy in 1882, the critic of the Times noted Macbeth as “a young artist whose work is but imperfectly appreciated, but who is pressing steadily forward in his own way, but on somewhat similar lines to the late Fred Walker.” In the same year, Macbeth contributed his etching of the composition to the first exhibition of the Society of Painter-Etchers, held at the premises of the Fine Art Society in New Bond Street.
