Mynde, James (sold)
James Mynde (1702 - 1770) was a British engraver. He produced many maps and charts from as early as 1725 and as late as 1768: his work ranged from maps and diagrams to celestial charts (namely, those of John Flamsteed's posthumous celestial atlas.) He was the son of Benjamin and Ann Mynde, who were stationers in Clerkenwell; his father was employed as a bookbinder. In his long career he trained a number of apprentices, including John Gibson.
