Joseph Haynes|1760|1829| Joseph Haynes (born 1760 died 1829), painter and etcher, born in 1760 at Shrewsbury, came to London early in life. He studied under John Hamilton Mortimer, A.R.A., and on the death of that artist in 1779 was for some time engaged in etching from his works. These etchings include 'Paul preaching to the Britons' and 'Robbers and Banditti'. Subsequently he etched for Samuel Ireland two subjects from pictures by Hogarth, 'Debates on Palmistry' and a portrait of 'The Right Hon. James Caulfeild, Earl of Charlemount'. At a later date he copied some of Sir Joshua Reynolds's pictures. He made a journey to Jamaica, which proved fruitless, and on his return went back to Shrewsbury. He eventually settled as a drawing-master at Chester, where he died on 14 December 1829. He is also stated to have worked in mezzotint. His paintings are few, and are seldom met with, but his etchings and engravings, which have considerable merit, are numerous.
