Biographical History
John Nichols (1745-1826) apprenticed as a printer in London with William Bowyer, and then entered into a partnership with Bowyer from 1767 until Bowyer's death in 1777. He served as printer, editor, and part-owner of the Gentleman's Magazine from 1778 until his death, and was a prolific editor and author of scholarly works.
John Nichols (1745-1826) was one of the most prominent London printers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. As his business grew, he also became a respected editor, biographer, and antiquary. His most notable works include the Gentleman's Magazine, Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica, The Literary Anecdotes of the 18th Century, and a number of county histories, including the acclaimed History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester. A number of engravings in this final title were executed by Barak Longmate the younger (1768-1836), who was a longtime friend and assistant to Nichols. Longmate shared Nichols' interest in antiquarian subjects and specialized in the engraving of coats of arms.
