— Portrait of Joseph Ames

Mezzotint of Joseph Ames. Joseph Ames (23 January 1689 - 7 October 1759) was an English bibliographer and antiquary. He purportedly wrote an account of printing in England from 1471 to 1600 entitled Typographical Antiquities (1749). It is uncertain whether he was by occupation a ship's chandler, a pattern-maker, a plane iron maker or an ironmonger. Though never educated beyond grammar school, he prospered in trade and amassed valuable collections of rare books and antiquities. Mezzotint by Thomas Hodgetts.
