John Henry Bufford (1810-1870) was a lithographer in 19th-century Boston, Massachusetts. ==Biography== Bufford trained "in the Pendleton shop in Boston from 1829 to 1831." According to one historian, Bufford's work as a lithographer represented "a mediocre sort of craftmanship at best. ...He had no very special skills as () original artist and gravitated to management." In 1835 he moved to New York, where he "worked independently for five years while accepting commissions from George Endicott and Nathaniel Currier."〔 Bufford returned to Boston in 1839, and became "chief artist" in the print shop owned by Benjamin W. Thayer (who had bought the Pendleton outfit)."〔 By 1844, the shop's name changed to J.H. Bufford & Co. (1844–1851)."〔 By one assessment, "Bufford's firm produced lively, accomplished images in many forms, including sheet music, city views, marine views and landscapes, book illustrations, reproductions of paintings, commercial depictions of factories, and contemporary genre views; ... () lithographic portraits copied from daguerreotypes."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Portrait Gallery )〕 Artists who worked for Bufford included Francis D'Avignon and Leopold Grozelier.〔 Clients included music publisher William H. Oakes. In the 1840s-1860s Bufford lived in Roxbury and worked on Washington Street: * J.H. Bufford & Co. (1844–1851), 204-206 Washington St.〔Boston Directory. 1848〕 * J.H.
