John Cooke Bourne (September 1, 1814 – February 1896) was a British artist, engraver and photographer, best known for his lithographs showing the construction of the London and Birmingham Railway and the Great Western Railway. His set of prints were each published as separate book, and became classic representations of the construction of the early railways.
Prints were often hand coloured for a vivid picture of events.
