A list of Contributors

• by jules moderator

  This is a list of contributors I started for my own reference and reproduce it here in case it is useful to others trying to identify or decipher names. I may well have put some of them in the wrong list as it's not always clear to me whether the person is a lithographer, engraver or illustrator. Don't forget we also have the Database of Scientific Illustrators to refer to and this glossary of printers' marks is also useful.

  Please post any others and I'll add them to the list.

  Illustrators / artists

  Delineavit, del, delin, delt
  An abbreviation of the Latin delineavit, ‘he/she drew [it]’, sometimes occurs in the lower margin or corner of a print, usually an engraving or an etching, to indicate a particular artist on whose original drawing the print is based. The name precedes it, usually found on the bottom left side of the plate
