by Lionel Henry Cust

HAYNESWORTH, WILLIAM (fl. 1659), engraver, one of the earliest English engravers, is known by a fairly good engraved portrait of Richard Cromwell as lord protector. There are copies of this extremely scarce print in the print room at the British Museum and in the Sutherland Collection in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. Haynesworth also engraved a print of Geffroy de Lusignan, a copy from a similar engraving by Jerome David.
