''John Foster: The Earliest American Engraver And The First Boston Printer'' is a historical book written by Samuel Abbott Green in 1909.

The author delves into Foster’s early years, his apprenticeship as an engraver, and his eventual move to Boston where he established his own printing business. The book also discusses Foster’s contributions to the printing industry in America, including his creation of the first American-made typeface. Green’s detailed account of Foster’s life and work provides valuable insights into the early days of printing in America and the important role that Foster played in its development.
