John Greenwood (Mezzotinter)
1727-1792
Greenwood was the son and grandson of prosperous Boston shipwrights. He was apprenticed to the engraver and japanner Thomas Johnston for three years, and then began his career as a portrait painter. In 1752, he sailed for Surinam and did not return to America. He painted more than one hundred portraits, and in his later years (after 1773) was a dealer in art objects in London, where he died.

Carington Bowles (Publisher)
1724-1793
Carington Bowles (1724-1793) was trained by his father John Bowles (1701-1779) and they traded together from 1754 to 1764 as John Bowles and Son at the Black Horse in Cornhill. John's brother, Thomas Bowles (1695 or 1712-1767), had a similar business in St. Paul's Churchyard, which Carington took over in 1764 when his uncle retired. Carington and John then began trading separately under their own names. Carington was succeeded by his son Henry Carington Bowles (1763-1830), who printed under the name Bowles and Carver. John was succeeded by Robert Wilkinson.
