He was quite a character\u2013a shrewd mixture of a tradesman and an artist. When he was makin\u2019 his bargains beforehand about his prices, he was all trade\u2013but after he got started in his work he was all art. In consequence he did well for his pocket and his profession both. He went to Europe several times. It was a big thing to go to Europe then, and his trips really did him good and enabled him to get some points in London which he made useful in New York. He took to engravin\u2019 portraits of prominent people here, and got tip-top prices for tip-top pictures. He lived tip-top, too, and gave swell dinner parties at his house in Gold street. If he had only stuck to engravin\u2019 he would have died as rich as he lived. But unfortunately he got speculatin\u2019 in his old age, and lost everythin\u2019 he had, save a farm, and went to die on that\u2013glad to get even a little farm-house to die in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"163\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/engraving2-1.jpg?resize=220%2C163&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-289\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tiebout&#8217;s engraving of the Battle of Lexington<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another early New York engraver was John Roberts. He was a Scotchman, and a sort of jack-of-all-trades. He could make musical instruments, and could play on \u2018em after he had made \u2018em. He could make machinery, he was great on sums in arithmetic\u2013a sort of lightnin\u2019 calculator\u2013 and above all, he was really a first-class engraver. His other things helped to fill up his time and astonish people, but his engravin\u2019 brought him bread and butter. And he could eat a deal of bread and butter; he was a big feeder. He had an intimate friend and chum, a painter, called Benjamin Trott, and once his friendship for this Trott was put to a pretty severe test. He undertook to engrave one of Trott\u2019s pictures, but when the engravin\u2019 was done Trott thought it wasn&#8217;t worthy of his paintin\u2019 and insisted that Roberts should destroy it. About one man in ten thousand would comply with such a request. The other nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine would have said that they&#8217;re engravin\u2019 was quite as good if not better than the paintin\u2019. In short, they would have told the painter to go to the deuce. But the engraver really loved the artist so much that, rather than have any hard feelin\u2019s with him, or hard words, he absolutely destroyed his engravin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"249\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/engraving4.jpg?resize=249%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-286\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">John Roberts print of Trott&#8217;s copy of Stuart&#8217;s portrait of Washington (made before plate destroyed)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps the most noteworthy man in the line of engravin\u2019 who ever lived in New York was Alexander Anderson, who might with justice be called the father of American wood engravin\u2019. Old Alexander Anderson lived for nearly a century in this city, and lived and died honored. Such a man ought never to be quite forgotten. There ain&#8217;t any danger of there bein\u2019 too many men like him. His father was a printer, and used to publish a paper down near Wall Street. The old man was a politician as well as a printer, and he wanted to make his only son like him, but somehow Alexander didn&#8217;t take to his father&#8217;s hobbies, and from boyhood had a hobby of his own, engravin\u2019. As his father said of him one day, \u201cthe confounded boy was always lookin\u2019 at pictures in books.\u201d So he was. Anything in the way of an engravin\u2019 had an attraction for him. He used to swap marbles for engravin\u2019s, swap good marbles for bad engravin\u2019s, for most of \u201cthe book work\u201d then was vile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"168\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/engraving3.jpg?resize=168%2C220&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-287\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alexander Anderson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At last havin\u2019 looked at and studied for two or three years all the engravin\u2019s he could possibly get hold of, he tried his hand at engravin\u2019 himself. His first effort was under decided difficulties. He couldn&#8217;t expect any aid from his father, so he went on his own hook. He took all the pennies he had and some that he borrowed, and got an old silversmith, across the way, who had taken a fancy to him, to roll \u2018em into a solid mass in his mill. This gave him all the metal plate he needed, and then he made a graver for himself out of the back spring of a pocket-knife, which he ground to a fine point. With this rude apparatus he was master of the situation, and made his first engravin\u2019. He wouldn&#8217;t have exchanged places with a king just then. And he made his engravin\u2019s pay, too, even in this rude stage of it. The newspapers then used to publish all shippin\u2019 advertisements with little ships on top of \u2018em. The young Anderson set to work and engraved some of these advertisin\u2019 ships, and got back all his original stock of pennies a hundred times over. From that time on Alexander Anderson was an engraver. His folks tried to make him a doctor, and in fact he tried, to please his folks, to make a doctor out of himself, but he was a born engraver and fulfilled his destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps he might have done well as a doctor, but fate was against him in that line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He commenced his career as a medical practitioner in a yellow fever year, and in the course of the epidemic he lost all his entire family within less than a month. One Sunday he had a father and mother livin\u2019, a nice young wife, a little baby boy and an affectionate brother. On the correspondin\u2019 Sunday next month he had neither father, mother, wife, child, nor brother livin\u2019. They had all been swept away; all died of yellow fever in less than thirty days. This awful series of calamities disheartened him and showed him forcibly how little a physician can do after all. So he left New York a while and went to the only relative he had then in the world, an uncle, in the West Indies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He then returned to New York and settled down to wood engravin\u2019 as a business. He had nothin\u2019 else to live for, so he lived for and in and by that. For fifty years he was the best man in his line in this city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of Anderson&#8217;s apprentices was named Adams, and this Adams, although not so fine a man or an engraver as his preceptor and master, lived to become identified with the greatest illustrated publication of its time, Harper&#8217;s Family Bible. Adams did the major part of the engravin\u2019 for this work, and was not only liberally paid by the Harpers in salary, but was given an interest in the proceeds of the book. Later on, the book makin\u2019 a tremendous success, the Harpers became desirous of buyin\u2019 Adams out, so the engraver made a bargain with his publishers that he would surrender all pecuniary interest in the book for the sum of $5,000 a year, to be paid him durin\u2019 life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adams was then middle-aged and rather sickly, so the Harpers jumped at this offer, thinkin\u2019, naturally, that Adams would only live two or three years more. But he didn&#8217;t die as soon as they expected. On the contrary, he took a turn, just after he made this arrangement, for the better, recovered his health, and lived twenty years, getting his $5,000 a year all the time. The publishers never squealed, but they never made another bargain of that sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It sounds strange now, but even Harper\u2019s Family Bible was \u201cobjected to\u201d in its day. Some of the ministers thought its illustrations either too broad or too brutal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One day a Methodist minister \u201cdropped in\u201d at Harpers\u2019 and saw one of Adams\u2019 early illustrations\u2013the picture representin\u2019 Adam seein\u2019 Eve for the first time in Paradise. He held it up reproachfully to the notice of James Harper, then Mayor, sayin\u2019 as he held it up: \u201cBrother James, this will not do for Eve, I fear,\u201d alludin to the innocence, and nothin\u2019 else, in which our all-mother was clad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cBrother,\u201d said the Methodist mayor in reply to the Methodist minister, and alludin\u2019 to the avidity with which the latter seized at the suggestions of his picture, \u201cyou would not have done for Adam, I fear.\u201d So the mayor had the laugh on the minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: The engraver referred to in the opening paragraphs above was Cornelius Tiebout (Abt. 1773-1832), not Siebout.
