He acquired great fame as a good painter of sea pieces; the shallow waves that rolled beneath his master's window, having taught him what his master never could, and fitted him to imitate the turbulence of the ocean. There is a large piece of Shiping by him, painted in 1726, in 'Painter-Stainers' Hall. He died in Westminster, in 1749. His portrait is in Walpole's Works, vol. 3, p. 421. This artist was a younger son of Mr. Rowland Place, of Dinsdale in the County of Durham, and was placed as clerk to an attorney in London, where he continued till 1665, in which year, going into a shop, the officers came to shut up the house, on its having the plague in it. This occasioned his leaving London, and a profession that was contrary to ins inclination, and of following the roving life he loved and the arts for which he had talents.

This author specifies views of Tinmouth Castle and Lighthouse; the Cathedral of York; Churches and Prospects of Leeds, drawn and etched, and a mezzotinto of Henry Gyles, the glass painter, executed by Mr. Place. He also scraped a plate of John Moyser, Esq. of Beverly, his particular friend; another of Thomas Comber, Dean of Durham, after Greenhill; a third of Bishop Crew, after Kneller, which last was finely executed. There is also a portrait by him of General Lambert, and one of Philip Woolwich, Esq. Many sketches of castles and views which he took in Wales, and of various other places in England, Scotland, and Ireland; several of them, well finished, are extant, and have been engraved. A view of Scarborough Castle was drawn in the year 1715. His prints are very scarce. He seldom resided in London, and drew only for his amusement, seldom completing what he undertook; and in his rambles painting, drawing, and engraving occasionally. In the reign of Charles II, he was offered a pension of 500l. a year, to draw the royal navy, but declined accepting it, as he could not endure confinement or dependence. In Thoresby's Topography of Leeds, are some churches drawn by Place. Ames mentions a print by him, which Mr. Walpole had of Richard Thompson, from a painting of Zoust: it is boldly done. Another is of Sterne, Archbishop of York. He also did some plates of birds, and the figures for Godartius's book of Insects. Mr. Place died in 1728, and his widow disposed of his paintings. There are two heads of him extant, one by himself, the face only finished, and another by Murray. The best prints of this engraver appear to be some architectural views, which he executed for the 4th volume of Vitruvius Britanni View of the River Ouse and the City, p. 331, by F. Place, 1. p. i.p.

The Head and Tail pieces to title page of Book II, engraved by J. Pine,† l. p. cum, published at London in 1739. There is also a large two-sheet Map of the World, by him, after Edmund Halley, dated 1700. A whole sheet plan of The Encampment of the Royal Army on Hounslow Heath, dated 1686, is signed J. Harris, in fletus, &c. This artist excelled in engraving architecture, and did many things for books. Some of his plates may be found in a large folio volume, entitled, "The Villas of the Ancients illustrated," by Robert Castel, and printed in London, 1728. He also engraved part of the plates of the plans, elevations, &c. of Houghton Hall, in Norfolk, published in 1785. The public are indebted to this artist for several fine and beautiful works. The chief of these are, The Ceremonies used at the revival of the Order of the Bath, by King George I; the prints from the tapestry in' the House of Lords, representing the destruction of the Spanish Armada, a book rivalling the splendid editions of the Louvre. Pine engraved, in 1749, a View of the House of Peers, King Henry VIII, on the Throne, the Nuncios and mitred Abbots among the Lords, the Commons attending, from a drawing ordered by the then Garter, in the hands of John Anstis, Esq. Garter King at Arms.

An edition of Horace, the whole text engraven, with ancient bas-reliefs and gems illustrating sire subjects. The Pastorals and Georgics of Virgil were published by his son, after his death, adorned in the same manner, with a letterpress type. A considerable number of the engravings for the Eneis, were also prepared, but want of encouragement prevented the appearance of that work. He has given too some ancient charters, and other things. His head, painted by Hogarth, in the manner of Rembrandt, is well known from the print.
