Louis Philippe Boitard was a French engraver and designer, who worked in London.
Life
He was probably born in France, and was a pupil of Raymond Lafage. His father François Boitard (1667-1719) brought him to England. The date of Louis Philippe Boitard's death is unknown, being stated by some authorities as 1758, by others as after 1760 or 1767. The earlier date seems much less likely. Indeed, a Louis Boitard was buried 30 September 1758 in the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London., but it is not known whether he has any relationship with the engraver.
