Baillie, James Smith (sold)
James Smith Baillie (fl. c. 1838 - 1855) was a British-American engraver, lithographer, and printmaker active in New York City in the mid-19th century. Baillie was born in England and became a citizen of the United States in 1836. He established himself as a framer in 1838, then began working as an artist and lithograph in 1843-44. Around the same time, he also did significant contract work as an artist and colorist for Currier and Ives. Baillie also produced many lithographs on his own account, many with a political theme, including several important editorial cartoon broadsides by H. Bucholaer (fl. c. 1843 - 1847).
