John Emes was a British engraver and watercolor painter. Emes was born on December 30, 1762, to William Emes, a landscape gardener from Mackworth near Derby. He is best known for his engraving of the picture by James Jeffreys, The Destruction of the Spanish Batteries before Gibraltar. The etching for this is dated 1786 and it was published in October 1789 by Emes and Elizabeth Woollett, the widow of William Woollett. Emes was also a watercolor painter and executed tinted drawings of views in the Lake District and elsewhere, some of which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1790 and 1791. There are three watercolor drawings by Emes in the Print Room at the British Museum. One of them is a large drawing representing The Meeting of the Royal Society of British Archers in Gwersyllt Park, Denbighshire, the figures in this are drawn by Robert Smirke RA and it was afterward engraved in aquatint by Cornelis Apostool. A set of sixteen views of the lakes in Cumberland and Westmorland, drawn by John Smith and John Emes, were engraved in aquatint by Samuel Alken and these were incorporated into Thomas West's, Guide to the Lakes. Emes also engraved some views of Dorsetshire. His collection of prints was sold on March 22, 1810, after his death.

George III Combination Argyle/Teapot Made in London in 1805 by John Emes
By John Emes
Located in London, GB
A RARE GEORGE III COMBINATION ARGYLE/BACHELOR TEAPOT MADE IN LONDON IN 1805 BY JOHN EMES.
This piece stands on an oval, stepped, pedestal foot decorated with reeding. The oval vase shaped body rises to a reeded rim and is engraved with a contemporary Crest. The domed, pull-off, cover terminates in a ball finial and this piece has an elegant swan neck spout and fruit wood handle. The interior displays a conical central section, with cap, for filling with hot water or coal, so that the heating element would keep the sauce warm. This piece is unusual, as the central heating section can be removed, so that it could be used as a bachelor coffee pot. This piece is in excellent condition and is well marked on the base, cover, conical section and its cap. John Emes was a prolific, very fine, silversmith whose work shows a taste for elegant design and fine finish. He had workshops at Amen Corner...

This teapot from London during the reign of King George III was created by John Emes. It features a leopard's head and is made of sterling silver.
7" x 11" x 4"
John Emes (1762–1810) was a British engraver and water-colour painter. His wife Rebecca Emes ran a successful silver business after his death. Emes was born on the 30 December 1762 to William Emes, a landscape gardener from Mackworth near Derby.
He is best known by his engraving of the picture by James Jefferys of The Destruction of the Spanish Batteries before Gibraltar. The etching for this is dated 1786, and as it was published in October 1789 by Emes and Elizabeth Woollett, widow of William Woollett it is possible that it was begun by Woollett. Emes was also a water-colour painter, and executed tinted drawings of views in the Lake District and elsewhere, some of which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1790 and 1791.
There are three water-colour drawings by Emes in the Print Room at the British Museum, one being a large drawing representing ‘The Meeting of the Royal Society of British Archers in Gwersylt Park, Denbighshire;’ the figures in this are drawn by R.
