John Pye the younger was a line engraver from Birmingham, who specialised in landscapes and topographical views after contemporary artists. He moved to London in 1801 and initially worked as an assistant to the etcher, line and stipple engraver James Heath (1757-1834). Pye’s best known works are his engravings after the paintings of J. W. M. Turner (1775-1851).
