by Lionel Henry Cust

HAYNES, JOHN (fl. 1730–1750), draughtsman and engraver, apparently a native of York, drew and engraved some views of York and Scarborough for T. Gent's ‘History of Kingston-on-Hull.’ He also drew many of the architectural plates for Drake's ‘Eboracum,’ published in 1736. In 1740 he published an etching from his own drawing of ‘The Dropping Well at Knaresborough as it appeared in the Great Frost, January 1739.’ A view of the Duke of Cumberland's ‘Mandarine Yacht’ at Windsor was engraved by Haynes in 1753, and a large plan of the city of York in 1748.
