John Horsburgh (1791-1869). Engraver. His first work with Turner was a plate published in 1826 for Picturesque Views of the Southern Coast of England, and he published 15 plates in total after Turner during the artist's lifetime.
In Modern Painters I, Ruskin described Horsburgh's plate after Turner 's Laugharne Castle, Caermarthenshire as 'well engraved' and went on to praise the expressive power of the individual engraved lines 'which give to the whole sea a wild, unwearied, reckless incoherency' ( MP I:370-71).
