Grimm inv Tobin sculp.t 1771
Rare etching, 220 x 310mm (8½ x 12¼"), with large margins. On 18th century watermarked paper. Crease through centre. Small 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.

Published by Oliver and Boyd Edin. [n.d., c.1810.]
Coloured engraving. Sheet 170 x 120mm (6¾ x 4¾"). Framed. Laid on paper, creased and stained.
A caricature of a Dutch fisherman, hands in the pockets of his breeches, smoking a pipe, standing next to a barrel of herring. Oliver and Boyd, a partnership of Thomas Oliver (1775–1853) and George Boyd (d.1843), was founded in Edinburgh c.1807, as a printer, publisher and binder. The quality of their work increased, gaining the firm a reputation for educational and medical textbook publishing. In 1896 the firm was taken over and was later owned by both the Financial Times and Longmans, before finally ceasing trading in 1990.
