Display artist/maker:

John Chapman

Born: UK, England, London   Active: 1792-1823

Engraver. Little is known of the life of Chapman, although it is believed that he came from a poor family and received little or no formal education in his art. He is regarded as one of the most gifted stipple engravers of the late eighteenth century. Chapman engraved exceptional allegorical subjects after the designs of J. Smith and Richard Corbould, and worked closely with Thomas Macklin on his Shakespeare series, with almost half of the engravings bearing his name
