John was owner of the Worsham House in Memphis, TN. A description of the Worsham House in Memphis, TN is in the book Wayside Glimpses North & South by Lillian Fosta, Publication date 1860 on pages 174 & 176 the Worsham House of Memphis, TN:
“This place supports two large hotels, of which the Worsham House is said to be the best. It is neat, well-appointed and kept-an excellent table, and polite attendance. Mr. Worsham, the landlord, is an agreeable gentleman, and superintends this fine establishment, and is ever on the look-out to make his guests comfortable.”
This engraving is from Harper's Magazine. Note in Harper's the 
hotel was
spelled Washam
House 5" This
early newspaper pictures was produced by having the artist's drawings engraved
by hand on to wood blocks. It required formidable skill and by the late 1860's
American engraving was as fine as any in the world. The House of Harper said it
cost them $500 for an average full-page block. "Black-line", the
inking of all but the removed portions before stamping was improved in the
1870's by "White-line", the adding of white flecks, dots or lines in
tonal graduation. Other developments came in the 1880's using photographically
processed blocks and half-tone printing.
