Johann Jacob Haid

Johann Jacob Haid or Johann Jakob Haid (1704 – 9 December 1767) was a German engraver who worked in Augsburg.

[1] Haid came from a German family of artists and engravers and was known for large mezzotint portraits.

[2] He worked in England, and it has been suggested that he borrowed from the work of Robert Robinson (c. 1651 – 1706), who was a popular English mezzotint engraver, painter, and stage designer.

[3] Haid also produced botanical work after Bartholomäus Seuter [de] (1678–1754)[4] and with Johann Elias Ridinger, and worked on Johann Wilhelm Weinmann's "Phytanthoza iconographia".
