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.
