John Ingram (engraver)
John Ingram (1721 – 1767 or later) was an English engraver. In his later career he lived in Paris.
Life
[edit]Ingram was born in London in 1721, and first practised engraving there. In 1755 he went to Paris, and settled there for the rest of his life.[1] He both etched and engraved. He engraved a number of plates after François Boucher (such as The Game of Chinese Chess), some after Charles-Nicolas Cochin, and a set of emblematical figures of the sciences in conjunction with Cochin and Jacques-Nicolas Tardieu. He was employed in engraving small plates for book illustration, and more especially on plates for the Transactions of the French Academy of Sciences.[2]
He is thought to have been still active in 1767; his year of death is not known.[1]
