Etching printed in black ink on wove paper.

Painter, illustrator, author and etcher, Gordon Grant was born in San Francisco on June 7, 1875. When he was twelve, his parents, who were from Ireland and Scotland, sent him to school in Scotland. He embarked on a four-month journey on a Glasgow square-rigger, sailing the Atlantic Ocean. During his voyage he developed a lifelong fascination of the sea and sailing ships.
