Biography
John White Allen Scott (1815-1907) or John W.A. Scott was an artist in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 19th century. He worked for Pendleton's Lithography early in his career. In the 1840s he started a lithography business in partnership with Fitz Hugh Lane ("Lane & Scott's Lithography"). Around 1852 he kept a studio in Boston's Tremont Temple. Scott's work sold well; for instance in 1855 he "sold more than 50 landscapes at auction." He belonged to the New England Art Union and the Boston Art Club.
