John H. Bufford’s & Sons (19th Century)

John Henry Bufford was a lithographer in 19th-century Boston, Massachusetts.

Bufford trained “in the Pendleton shop in Boston from 1829 to 1831.”

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; … [and] lithographic portraits copied from daguerreotypes.” Artists who worked for Bufford included Francis D’Avignon, Winslow Homer, and Leopold Grozelier. Clients included music publisher William H. Oakes.

After Bufford’s death in 1870, his sons Frank G. Bufford and John Henry Bufford, Jr. continued the business. By 1879, “J.H. Bufford’s Sons, Manufacturing Publishers of Novelties in Fine Arts” worked from offices at 141-147 Franklin Street, Boston; and in 1881–1882 expanded the enterprise as far as New York and Chicago.
