Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Marcuard, Robert Samuel
MARCUARD, ROBERT SAMUEL (1751–1792?), engraver, was born in England in 1751 and became a pupil of Bartolozzi, whose manner he successfully followed, working entirely in stipple. Between 1778 and 1790 he produced many good plates after Cipriani, A. Kauffmann, W. Hamilton, W. Peters, T. Stothard, and others; also portraits of Francesco Bartolozzi and Ralph Milbank (both after Reynolds), Major Francis Pierson, and Cagliostro. Marcuard died about 1792.
