Guillaume Philippe Benoist
1725 - 1770
Guillaume Philippe Benoist was a French engraver, who spent the later part of his life in England.
Benoist was born near Coutances, Normandy, in 1725. He lived in London during the later part of his life, and died there in 1770. He engraved some portraits, and a few other subjects. Writing in the late 18th century, Joseph Strutt noted that "he chiefly confined himself to small plates, which he executed in a fine style, though with little taste."
