Artist Biography
Henry George Hine (1811-1895) was an English landscape-painter and comic illustrator born in Brighton, Sussex. He taught himself to draw and paint, and was encouraged by a neighbouring vicar who had watercolours by Copley Fielding. Hine painted several seascapes and coastal scenes in Sussex, and then went to London, where he was an apprentice draughtsman to Henry Meyer. After he left Meyer, Hine went to Rouen and remained there for about two years. He returned, first to Brighton, then to London, where he became a professional wood engraver. In 1841, Hine extended his practice to drawing on the wood for illustrated journals.
