Biographical History
Engraver, portrait and miniature painter John Sartain was born in London in 1808 and moved to the United States in 1830 after a seven year apprenticeship to London engraver John Swaine. Besides his banknote and portrait engraving, Sartain was noted for his magazine engravings. In 1849 he began his own magazine, entitled Sartain's Union Magazine of Letters and Art, but ceased its publication three years later due to financial troubles. Sartain was also the director of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the head of the art department at the Centennial Exposition. His autobiography, The Reminiscences of a Very Old Man, was published posthumously in 1899, two years after his death.
