John Henry Bufford trained in a Pendleton shop in Boston for a coupe of years. He then moved to New York where he worked independently for five years. He is mainly known for his crayon style images that achieved a remarkable realism. He specialized in art prints, posters, covers and book and magazine illustrations. He often used five or more colors in his work. After participating in several partnerships, he opened his own firm in 1850. In 1857—1858 the lithography firm of J. H. Bufford issued a series of five chromolithographs based on J. R. Smith's drawings of the Taking Down of Beacon Hill. The general title of the series, "Old Boston," indicates a nostalgic look back to the removal of some of the landmarks of earlier times and the beginnings of nineteenth-century growth and industrialization. One of the first Boston lithographers to experiment with printing in color in the 1840s, the series illustrates the bright, clear color Bufford had achieved by the 1850s.
