JONES, John

Jones was a London-based English engraver and printseller who practiced in both mezzotint and stipple. During his industrious career he mainly engraved portraits, working from paintings by Reynolds, Romney and Gainsborough. The majority of his work he published himself at his residence in Great Portland Street. He was an active exhibitor at the Society of Artists and from 1780-1791 served as Engraver Extraordinary to the Prince of Wales.
