Richard Corbould was a versatile artist producing landscapes, genre and historical subjects, which he exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, from 1777 to 1811, as well as book illustrations. He was the progenitor of a family that produced four generations of painters and illustrators from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Corbould had a long association with the book publisher C. Cooke, illustrating Daniel Defoe’s The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe<\/strong> (1790) among many others. His works are in the collection of the Tate Gallery and the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, both in London.<\/p>\n

James Chapman was an engraver in London who produced plates between 1792 and 1823, mostly in a dotted manner, including some printed in color.<\/p>\n

John Wilkes (1750-1810) was a London and Winchester printer, bookseller and stationer, active from 1772 until his death. He was a Freeman of Winchester and proprietor of the Hampshire Chronicle. With Peter Barfoot he ran the British Directory Office, which published the Universal British Directory <\/strong>from 1790 to 1798 after obtaining a royal patent. A charge of piracy was brought against him by a Mr. Roworth in 1808 for incorporating his material into Encyclopaedia Londiniensis<\/strong> and Wilkes was fined \u00a3100. He owned Milland House in Sussex.<\/p>\n
