Lodge, John (sold)
John Lodge (1735-1796) was a British engraver, map seller, draughtsman and stationer active in London from roughly 1755 to the late 18th century. Lodge, born in London, was apprenticed to Thomas Jefferys, one of the most prominent and prolific map publishers and engravers of his day. He produced several maps for The Gentleman's Magazine and The Political Magazine and other publications. He also engraved book-illustrations, portraits and botanical plates and taught etching and engraving. Around the 1780's, he is believed to have lived to Dublin, where he did a significant amount of engraving work for Dublin booksellers. Lodge was survived by his wife Ann, to whom he left his entire estate, and his son John Lodge, who was also an engraver.

An important 1781 map of New York City near the end of the American Revolutionary War. This map was prepared by John Bew and engraved in London by John Lodge. Coverage extends from Sandy Hook to Fort Independence in the Bronx, and from Perth Amboy to western Long Island. When this map was issued, in November of 1781, news of the British defeat at the October 19, 1781 Battle of Yorktown, and the subsequent surrender of General Cornwallis, had already reached London. With its large, defensible harbor, multiple forts, and large defending force, it appeared that New York might soon be the last redoubt of British power in the rebelling colonies. This map reflects New York's defensive ability, citing the locations of new forts under construction, as well as existing forts repurposed for British defense, such as Fort Washington / Knyphausen.

One of the earliest obtainable views of the 1775 American Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill. Published in 1783, this view illustrates the June 17, 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill, Boston, one of the first and most significant battles of the American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783). The view looks east from Boston Harbor. Boston is on the left, Charlestown and Breed's Hill are afire on the right. British naval vessels fill the harbor, while long range cannons bombard Charlestown from Boston. The view is reasonably accurate, suggesting that the artist, 'Mr. Millar', probably George Henry Millar, may have witnessed the battle first hand or drew upon the experience of one who had.
