James Neagle

Very largely a line engraver of book illustrations, he was prolific of designs by Thomas Stothard, Robert Smirke, Henry Fuseli, Gavin Hamilton, Henry Singleton, Richard Cook, and other popular artists.

He had many commissions from the publishing firm of Cadell & Davies.

[2] In 1801, in a civil action brought by Jean Marie Delattre the engraver against John Singleton Copley, over a plate, Neagle was a witness for the plaintiff.

Towards the end of his life (after 1816) he emigrated to America, where he died not long afterwards in 1822.

[1][2] Neagle's work included plates for:[1] A major work was The Royal Procession in St. Paul's on St. George's Day, 1789, from a drawing by Edward Dayes.
