John Henry Lekeux (1812-1896)
 
John Henry was the son of John Lekeux (1783-1846) and the nephew of Henry Lekeux (1787-1868), both line engravers. John Henry, a pupil of James Basire II, was known for his engraved architecture and topographical scenes, often used to illustrate publications.
According to Mackenzie, ‘He designed and patented a process for printing steel engravings with one or more tints.’
