Large mezzotint portraits are what Johann Jakob Haid was known for. Born in 1704, he came from a German family of artists and engravers and worked in Augsburg, though he also worked in England. It has been suggested that he borrowed from Robert Robinson, a popular English mezzotint engraver. Haid also made botanical work after Bartholomäus Seuter and with Johann Elias Ridinger, and he worked on Johann Wilhelm Weinmann's Phytanthoza iconographia. He died on 9 December 1767.
