John Thurston (artist)

John Thurston (artist)

John Thurston (1774 - 1822) was an English wood engraver and illustrator. He began his artistic career as a copper plate engraver, working for James Heath. Then he took up book illustration, and soon totally devoted himself to it. Most of his illustrations were engraved on block, not plate. His illustrations include those for James Thomson's "Seasons" and William Somervile's "Rural Sports", as well as Shakespeare's works. He was an occasional exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1794 to 1812.
