John Ingram

John Ingram belongs to the eighteenth-century European printmaking tradition, working chiefly in etching and engraving. His subjects cluster around Chinese themes — gardens, games, music and curiosities — rendered as ornamental and genre scenes in the chinoiserie taste of the period. This collection brings together thirteen sheets from 1741, among them The Chinese Gardener, The Master Gardener and The Game of Chinese Chess, almost all produced through etching combined with engraving. Where the holdings include later printings, the impressions run up to 1741.
