Gordon Hope Grant was born in San Francisco, California in 1875. When he was twelve his parents, who were from Ireland and Britain, sent him to school in Scotland. He embarked on a four-month journey on a Glasgow square-rigger, sailing the Atlantic Ocean, and during his voyage he developed a lifelong fascination with the sea and sailing ships. Grant spent six years in school in the seaport town of Fifeshire, Scotland, setting up a seat along the water daily to sketch any ships that passed by. At eighteen, determined to become an artist, he enrolled in the Hearthely and Lambeth Art Schools in London. After three years he returned to Francisco to take a job on the art staff of the San Francisco Examiner. His work gathered immediate national attention, and a year later he accepted an offer to join the staff of the New York-based Sunday World. His reputation as an illustrator continued to increase, and Harper’s Weekly hired him in 1899 to cover the Boer War in South Africa, as well as the Mexican Revolution. In 1901 the first exhibition of his watercolors was held at the Salmagundi Club in New York. He became a member of the American Watercolor Society, Society of Illustrators, Allied Artists of America, New York Society of Painters, New York Watercolor Club, and American Federation of Artists. His work for the cover of the first edition of the Boy Scout Handbook in 1911 made him a household name. Beginning in the early 1920s he exhibited his marine paintings and watercolors at Grand Central Galleries in New York. He also started making etchings and won first prize at the Chicago Society of Etchers in the early 1930s. His countless lithographic prints over the next 20 years established his international reputation as a printmaker. During World War I and II he produced many war posters, and his heavily patriotic style led to work for the Saturday Evening Post and illustrations for Boys’ Life. He continued to have annual watercolor exhibitions and produced prints for Associated American Artists right up until his death in 1962.
