Who was John Jackson?
John Jackson was an English engraver.
Jackson was born at Ovingham, Northumberland in 1801, and was apprenticed to the wood engraver Thomas Bewick. After a quarrel with his master, Jackson went to London and worked for the wood engraver William Harvey.
Jackson made engravings for Northcote's Fables and illustrations in Penny Magazine. In the early 1830s he taught wood engraving to his younger brother Mason Jackson. In 1839 he provided over 300 engravings for an illustrated history of wood-engraving with text written by William Andrew Chatto.
