Gordon GrantBorn in 1875 in San Francisco, Grant, traveled to Great Britain for his formal education, and then studied art at Lambeth and
Heatherley in London. After his return to San Francisco, he worked as an illustrator and a correspondent artist for various
newspapers in the area. Covering the Boer War and the Mexican Revolution, his images came East and appeared in
Harper's Weekly in New York. Eventually, Grant, established himself as an outstanding illustrator of books. During
the early 1900's he participated in a project to restore and designate as a National monument, the historic vessel, the
U.S.Constitution. Publishing prints of his painting of this vessel, Grant, was able to help raise money for its preservation.
The original painting now hangs in the White House. His lithographs, etchings, oils, water colors, and drawings of life on
the seven seas and the vessels that sailed them, prove Grant, to be one of the foremost American marine artists.
