Biografi
Durand lahir di dan akhirnya meninggal di Maplewood, New Jersey (kemudian disebut Jefferson Village). Dia adalah anak kedelapan dari sebelas bersaudara. Ayah Durand adalah seorang pembuat jam dan pengrajin perak. Durand magang ke pengukir dari tahun 1812 hingga 1817 dan kemudian menjalin kemitraan dengan pemilik perusahaan, Charles Cushing Wright (1796–1854),[1] yang memintanya untuk mengelola kantor perusahaan di New York. Dia mengukir Declaration of Independence untuk John Trumbull selama tahun 1823, yang menetapkan reputasi Durand sebagai salah satu pengukir terbaik di negara itu. Durand membantu mengatur Asosiasi Menggambar New York selama tahun 1825, yang akan menjadi Akademi Desain Nasional; dia akan melayani organisasi sebagai presiden dari tahun 1845 hingga 1861.
Ukiran Asher pada uang kertas digunakan sebagai potret untuk perangko pertama di Amerika, seri tahun 1847.[2] Bersama saudaranya Cyrus, ia juga mengukir beberapa edisi 1851 berikutnya.[3]
