Martin T. Thurwanger, born in the Alsace region of France, trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, and was a student
of lithography under Bernard-Roman Julien (1802-1871). He worked as a lithographer and mezzotint engraver in Paris before
traveling to Philadelphia on a commission by the Smithsonian Institution with his apprentice, Max Rosenthal. Known primarily
for his talent in pen-and-ink lithography, Thurwanger returned to Paris within five years of arriving in the states. He died
in 1890.
