The date of Louis Philippe Boitard's death is unknown, being stated by some authorities as 1758, by others as after 1760 or 1767.
[2] Indeed, a Louis Boitard was buried 30 September 1758 in the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London,[3] but it is not known whether he has any relationship with the engraver.
He made engravings after Canaletto, Christophe Huet, Giovanni Paolo Pannini, and others.
He engraved the illustrations to John Gilbert Cooper's Life of Socrates (1749), Robert Paltock's The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins, a Cornish Man (1750), and Richard Owen Cambridge's Scribleriad (1751).
[2] He executed many vignettes, designs, and portraits, among those one of Elizabeth Canning; and he is said to have been a humorist and a member of the Artists' Club.
