William James Linton, wood engraver, printer, and poet, was likely the finest wood engraver of his generation, as well as an important figure in political and literary circles.
He was born in London, England, the son of William Linton, an accountant and provision broker, and Mary Stephenson. In 1818, the Lintons moved to Stratford, where he attended Chigwell School, and he moved to London in 1828 in order to serve an apprenticeship with George Wilmot Bonner, a wood engraver.
