John Ames (printmaker)

John Ames (fl. 1777 - 1792) was a Bristol-based printmaker.[1] He produced a number of portraits including those of the Methodist ministers, James Rouquet and John Henderson as well as the Quaker doctor, John Till Adams.[2] William Young Ottley, who only had a copy of the Rouquet portrait, suggests he may have been an amateur.[3] He also produced a number of engravings for Ebenezer Sibly,[4] a protégé of Till Adams.[5]
