1684. At the age of thirteen he was
apprenticed to an heraldic engraver,
a Frenchman, who failed in three or

Kneller, and was one of the first
members of the Academy of Painting
which that artist instituted in
1711. His plate of Archbishop
Tillotson, after Kneller,
commissioned by Lord Somers,

engraver; and he was soon in
anexcellent practice, engraving
portraits after Dahl, Richardson,
Jervas and Gibson. In portraiture
alone he executed over five hundred
plates. In 1717 he was appointed
engraver to the Society of
Antiquaries, and his bun. was
employed upon many interesting
statues, tombs, portraits and other
subjects of an antiquarian nature.
He died on the 24th of July 1756,
