CHENEY, John
[1801-1885] – American engaver and illustrator
CHEN140

He was interested in drawing from an early age and learned engraving from books; his first engraving was made on a piece of copper cut from an old kettle. Koehler says of his work "... he stands at the head of the engravers of his time in this country, and shoulder to shoulder with those of Europe." Unfortunately, the demand for fine small engravings was in decline, and he produced only about a hundred plates. He continued to engrave until 1857, when the demand for his sort of work was about over. |

With his brothers, he developed a successful silkworm nursery and cocoonery. By 1841 the raw silk boom had collapsed, and the brothers turned to manufacturing silk, apparently with imported raw silk. This venture proved more successful and Ward devoted the remainder of his life to the manufacture of silk. |
