"John Chapman (active 1792-1823), Engraver
One of the most gifted stipple engravers of the late eighteenth century, relatively little is known of the life of John Chapman. He is thought to have been mostly self-taught. During his career, Chapman engraved exceptional allegorical subjects after the designs of J. Smith and Raphael Corbould. He worked closely with Thomas Macklin on his Shakespeare series; almost half of the engravings bear his name." - https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp16335/john-chapman, 22.06.2020
