Jackson, John, 1801-1848
John Jackson, wood-engraver, was born at Ovingham, Northumberland, on 19 April 1801 and was the elder brother of wood-engraver and journalist Mason Jackson (1819-1903). Jackson was an apprentice to Thomas Bewick, Newcastle's Armstrong and Walker and William Harvey. Despite having executed a few original drawings and watercolours, he was to become not a designer but a very successful reproductive engraver. Once in London, Jackson did extensive work for the Penny Magazine and the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, all of which established his reputation as a remarkable wood-engraver. Amongst other works, he funded and supplied engraved illustrations for Chatto's A Treatise on Wood Engraving (1839), a valuable source of information on contemporary engravers and their technique. Jackson died in London of acute bronchitis on 27 March 1848.
