Vincent Woodthorpe (1764?-1822)
Vincent Woodthorpe was a print and map engraver, as well as a copperplate printer. Woodthorpe was born in Stepney in approximately 1764, the son of Vincent Woodthorpe, a victualler, and Elizabeth Waterhouse, who married in 1763. He began his career as an apprentice tinplate worker to Garnet Terry from 8 Jan 1778. He later set up his own premises at 27 Fetter Lane, London 1796-1809 and 29 Fetter Lane, London 1800-1822. Woodthorpe engraved a number of the illustrations for Barrington’s account of the colony of New South Wales; the subjects were based on earlier issued engravings in First Fleet journals.
