Alexander Jonston in the character of Gibby in "The Wonder"

Joseph Saunders,, sometimes also Joseph Sanders, was an English engraver, illustrator, publisher and professor of fine art. He was active in London, Saint Petersburg and Wilno. He has sometimes become conflated with the London painter and miniaturist, Joseph Saunders. Professor Anthony Cross suggests a further confusion with a 'John Saunders', born 1750, who also went to Russia.
