Grimm inv Tobin sculp.t 1771
Etching, 18th century watermark; platemark 220 x 310mm (8½ x 12¼"). Uncut sheet with very large margins. Crease through centre. Paper ageing. Hole in trees.
Landscape after Samuel Hieronymous Grimm (1733-94) by the little-known etcher J. Tobin (1770s, fl.). Grimm was a Swiss painter who moved to England around the time this print was made, where he became known for his versatility, producing illustrations to Shakespeare, topographical views, caricatures, and drawings of antiquities. As Joseph Strutt writes of Tobin in his biographical dictionary of engravers: 'he was a native of England, and etched several small plates of landscapes from H. Grim. We have also some small tinted plates from him, from Both, Ostade, and other painters'. Probably from a volume of Tobin's etchings.

Representation of a Scene of the County Naval Free School on Waste Land.
S.H. Grimm Pinxit. Fran.s Chesham Sculp.t.
[London: Marine Society, 1783.]
Engraving. 380 x 470mm (15 x 18½"), with good margins. Margins chipped and age-toned. Repaire tears. Abrasion and hole in right, within the tree. Left corner repaired crease.
A scene of a proposed free school for poor boys, preparing them for naval life. It shows the boys using apparatus for training for loading canon and winching an anchor, drilling and using navigation instruments, as well as ploughing and other agricultural activity. This plate was published in 'Proposal for County Naval Free Schools, to be Built on Waste Lands', by Jonas Hanway, written for humanitarian as well as patriotic reasons, the year that the American Revolutionary War ended in failure. After spending more than the year's income on the society on preparing the book (for which Hanway was censured), it was issued to privy councillors, lord lieutenants, influential MPs and admiralty and naval boards. However the plan was downsized by the society, and a single training ship was commissioned, anchored at Greenwich. As well as founding the Marine Society in 1756 (to procure seamen for the Seven Years' War), Hanway (1712-86) was a vice president of the Foundling Hospital, instrumental in the establishment of the Magdalen Hospital and a commissioner for victualling the navy (experimenting with ways to alleviate scurvy amongst seamen). He is said to be the first male Londoner to carry an umbrella, facing down heckling hackney coachmen.

The Politician.
Done from the Original Drawing by S. H. Grimm.
Printed for S. Sledge Printseller, in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden. Publish'd as the Act Directs 2d May 1771.
Engraving 360 x 260mm (14 x 10¼"). Trimmed inside the platemark.
A French barber appears to be whispering in the ear of his grotesque customer, Prime Minister Lord North, who recoils in horror. Behind them a dog and cat fight on a map of the Falkland Islands. On June 10 1770 the Spanish commander Don Juan Ignacio de Madariaga landed on the Falkland Islands with five ships and 1400 soldiers forcing the British to leave Port Egmont. This action sparked a crisis when Britain and Spain almost went to war over the islands. When Louis XV of France refused to support Spain the islands were returned.
