George Jackson (plasterwork)
{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}}
George Jackson (1766–1840) was a British plasterwork innovator, active from 1780 onwards. He was commissioned by architect Robert Adam to produce reverse-cut boxwood moulds (many to Adam designs). Jackson formed a company which still produces composition pressings and retains a boxwood mould collection.
In 1780 Jackson founded George Jackson & Sons Ltd. in London which was active in decorative plaster ornaments and introduced the use of composition plaster into England.{{cite web | url=http://rth.org.uk/collections/jackson-ornament/history | title=The history of the Jacksons | publisher=The Regency Town House|access-date=15 March 2022}}
