Buttre }} John Chester Buttre (10 June 1821 Auburn, New York – 2 December 1893 Ridgewood, New Jersey), was an American steel-plate engraver and lithographer, responsible for some 3,000 engraved portraits of American political, naval and military personalities. He published "The American Portrait Gallery" in 3 volumes (1880–81) with text by his daughter, Lillian C. Buttre. BiographyHe received his first drawing tuition from Hulaniski, a Polish exile living in Auburn. Later he applied himself to the study of portrait-painting. He was, however, better suited to drawing and wood-engraving. His work improving, he carried on the business of general engraver, producing card-plates, wood-cuts for newspapers and engraving silver-ware. Arriving in New York in 1841, he devoted himself to steel-plate engraving, at which he soon became successful, his work appearing in many magazines and newspapers. He produced a widely acclaimed full-length portrait of President James Buchanan in 1858, together with a full-length portrait of Martha Washington. His Civil War work included sentimental images such as "The Empty Sleeve," "Only a Little Brook" and "Prayer in Camp," all of which sold well.[1] A resident of Ridgewood, New Jersey, Buttre died at his home there on December 2, 1893.[2] References1. ^Famous Americans {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111020012258/http://www/ |date=2011-10-20 }} 2. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=jz9IAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA4-PA205 "John Chester Buttre"], in The National Magazine: (Cleveland) a Monthly Journal of American History, Volumes 18-19, p. 205, Western History Publishing Company, 1893.
