Lichfield's antiquities, from Samuel Johnson's birthplace to Richard Greene's museum, are among the subjects engraved by Thomas Cook, a London engraver of reproductive work who was born around 1744 and died in 1818. Many of these prints were published in the Gentleman's Magazine, for which he engraved churches, monuments, houses and historical objects in close detail, including Dore Abbey, Herefordshire churches and buildings in London and Buckinghamshire. Memorial designs for Wolfe, Chatham and Thomas Guy add a sculptural strand. He should not be confused with his namesake of the travel business.
