Paul Revere, a silversmith and engraver, is far, far more famous for his ride on horseback warning the colonists that the British were coming at the time of the Revolutionary War.
He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1735, learning silver-smithing from his father. Revere turned to engraving about 1765, and, over the years, engraved bills, money, musical scores, title pages, political prints, portraits and scenic views. He was also a copper worker, bell caster, and watercolorist.
