John Sturt (1658-1730) was an English engraver, apprenticed to Robert White. Becoming associated with John Ayres, he engraved the most important of his books on calligraphy. He is popularly known as an illustrator of 'The Pilgrim's Progress'. He was born in London on 6 April 1658, and at the age of seventeen was apprenticed to Robert White, in whose manner he engraved a number of small portraits as frontispieces to books. Sturt at one time kept a drawing school in St Paul's churchyard in partnership with Bernard Lens II. He died in London, poor, in August 1730.
