Jackson was born at Ovingham, Northumberland in 1819, and was trained as a wood engraver by his brother, John Jackson (engraver)/John Jackson, the author of a history of this art.

In the middle of the 19th century he made a considerable reputation by his engravings for the Art Union of London, and for Charles Knight (publisher)/Knight’s William Shakespeare/Shakespeare and other standard books. Upon the death of Herbert Ingram in 1860 he was appointed art editor of the Illustrated London News, a post which he held for thirty years. He wrote a history of the rise and progress of illustrated journalism.

Jackson died in December 1903 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.

Amongst his apprentices was Edmund Morison Wimperis, who became a notable watercolour landscape painter.
