Johann Jacob Haid
German engraver (1704–1767)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Life and works
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 (1678–1754)[4] and with Johann Elias Ridinger, and worked on Johann Wilhelm Weinmann's "Phytanthoza iconographia".
