John Anderson (engraver)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Anderson (1775 – before 1809) was a Scottish wood engraver and illustrator, a pupil of the British wood engraver Thomas Bewick.
Anderson was born at Foveran in Scotland in 1775, the son of James Anderson of Hermiston. He was a pupil of Thomas Bewick, taken on at his father's wish to help with illustration of a periodical, The Bee. The relationship with Bewick ended acrimoniously, however, and by the later 1790s he was working for London printers. He went abroad by 1805, and died by 1808.[1]
