  John Mackie Falconer was a full member of the New York Etching Club. He was also made an honorary member of the National Academy of Design in 1856. Living mostly in Brooklyn, Falconer was a central figure in the cultural life of the community. Among his closest friends there were the fellow artists, Thomas Cole and Asher Brown Durand.
  As an original etcher, John Mackie Falconer became best known for his studies of older buildings and ruins. Negro Huts at Wilmington, North Carolina is a poignant study of impoverished living conditions in the post Civil War South.
  The American Art Review. A Journal Devoted to the Practical theory, History, and Archaeology of Art: Inspired by the European etched art of James McNeill Whistler, Charles Meryon, Sir Francis Seymour Haden and others, a large number of American artists became seriously interested in the art of etching by 1875. A primary catalyst to the etching revival in America was the journal, American Art Review (1879-1881). Founded and edited by Sylvester Rosa Koehler it commissioned American artists for original etchings. Contributing etchers included such famous artists as Thomas and Peter Moran, Otto Bacher, J. M. Falconer, Robert Swain Gifford, Henry Farrer, Samuel Colman, John Foxcroft Cole and James D. Smillie.
  Due mostly to its lavish production costs the journal lasted only slightly over two years. The finely printed etchings it produced, however, served as a cornerstone for the many great American etchings of the early twentieth century.
