John June
John June (fl. 1740–1770) was an English engraver, best known for his portraits and book illustrations.
Works[edit]
June worked regularly for the publisher Robert Sayer. He made engravings from his own drawings, as a general rule, though he did make plates after John Collett.[1] Some of them, such as The Farm Yard and The Death of the Fox, were engraved in a bold style, and unusually large. His works include View of Cheapside on Lord Mayor's Day, November 1761.[2]
