John Hall Thorpe (1874-1947) was a distinguished and prolific wood-engraver and printer. His work is held by the V&A Museum, Art Gallery of New South Wales, and the National Gallery, Canberra.
He was born in Victoria, went to school in Parramatta, and apprenticed at John Fairfax & Son Sydney before becoming a staff artist at the Sydney Mail.
In 1902 he went to England where he studied at St Martin’s School of Art. He began to make his coloured woodcuts after the First World War, establishing a successful studio. By the end of the 1920s, Hall Thorpe Studio was selling and sending prints all over the world. He exhibited with the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy among others.
