STORER, JAMES SARGANT (1771–1853), draughtsman and engraver, was born in 1771, and devoted himself to the production of works on topography and ancient architecture, the plates in which, drawn and engraved by himself on a small scale, were distinguished for extreme accuracy and beauty of finish. For some years he was associated with John Greig, another topographical artist, in collaboration with whom he published ‘Cowper illustrated by a Series of Views,’ 1803; ‘Views in North Britain illustrative of the Works of Burns,’ 1805; ‘Views illustrative of the Works of Robert Bloomfield,’ 1806; ‘Select Views of London and its Environs,’ 1804–5; ‘The Antiquarian and Topographical Cabinet,’ 10 vols., with five hundred plates, 1807–11; and ‘Ancient Reliques,’ 1812. He was one of the artists employed upon Britton and Brayley's ‘Beauties of England and Wales,’ 1801–1816. From 1814 James Storer worked wholly in conjunction with his eldest son (see below), whom he outlived. He died at his house at Islington on 23 Dec. 1853, and was buried beside his son at St. James's Chapel, Pentonville.
