In Amsterdam in 1725, Jan Caspar Philips became the teacher of the engraver Simon Fokke and of his nephew Caspar Philips. He was a German engraver, born in 1690 and perhaps in Trebur, like a younger brother. His father Hendrik was a wigmaker, and the family settled at NZ Voorburgwal. Philips contributed engravings to Jan Wagenaar's Hedendaagse Historie. In 1743 he made the engravings for Kornelis de Wit's Verzaameling van Afbeeldingen van Doopsgezinde Leeraaren, and he died at Egelantiersgracht.
