The Chase John Bewick (1760-1795) John Bewick was Thomas Bewick’s younger brother and his first apprentice, serving from 1777 until 1782. It is difficult to identify workshop engravings from his apprentice years as definitely his. He went to London in 1786, making a career as a wood engraver and book illustrator, being perhaps the first person to make a living entirely at this occupation. He contributed to at least sixty titles in this short career.
