During the XVTIIth century two foreigners, who visited England, 

 did good work, i.e. J. G. Haid (Augsburg, London, Vienna ; 1710-76) 

 and Johann Jacobe (Vienna, London ; 1733-97). 



Another foreign visitor, J. C. Le Blon (Frankfort, Eome, Amster- 

 dam, London, Paris; 1667-1741), made the first experiments in the use 

 of the three-colour process for mezzotint plates. He found his chief 

 imitators in France in the various members of the family of Gautier 

 D'Agoty.
