Engraver.
James Smillie was an artist whose engravings illustrated the early histories of Green-Wood; born in Edinburgh, Scotland; died in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1885. Here's one of his images from 1847 of Green-Wood; it is Lawn-Girt Hill. Notice the vegetation he uses to frame the image; much of that was likely just an artists device.
