George Glover (engraver)

George Glover (active 1625–1650) was an English engraver, working in the reign (1625–1649) of Charles I.

He mainly worked for London publishers, including Robert Peake, Thomas Banks, John Hinde and Peter Stent.

[1] He also self-published a plate of Queen Henrietta Maria, after a painting by Van Dyck.

A broadside engraved by him gives the portraits and biographies of William Evans, the giant porter, Jeffery Hudson, the dwarf, and Thomas Parr, the very old man.

Glover's own portrait was engraved by R. Grave, jun., from a drawing once in William Oldys's possession.
