John Ingram (engraver)

John Ingram (1721 – 1767 or later) was an English engraver.

Ingram was born in London in 1721, and first practised engraving there.

He engraved a number of plates after François Boucher (such as The Game of Chinese Chess), some after Charles-Nicolas Cochin, and a set of emblematical figures of the sciences in conjunction with Cochin and Jacques-Nicolas Tardieu.

He was employed in engraving small plates for book illustration, and more especially on plates for the Transactions of the French Academy of Sciences.

[2] He is thought to have been still active in 1767; his year of death is not known.
