Henry George Hine RI (1811-1895) was the Brighton-born son of a coachman. Hine taught himself by copying the work of A. V. Copley Fielding. He spent some years painting before becoming apprenticed to the engraver Henry Meyer in London. Thereafter he spent two years in Rouen and in 1841 became employed as a wood engraver. From 1841 to 1844 he drew for Punch and, afterwards, for rival publications, including the Illustrated London News. Hine had begun to exhibit landscapes in 1830, but it was not until 1863 that he was elected an Associate of the New Watercolour Society [i.e., the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour]. The following year he was elected to full membership and served as Vice President from 1888 until the end of his life. In 1867 the Art Journal wrote: "The landscapes of H. G. Hine are of singular beauty." Throughout his career Hine was noted for the delicacy and subtlety of his work.

Henry George Hine
Henry George Hine was an English landscape-painter and comic illustrator. Born at Brighton, Sussex, on 15 August 1811, he was the youngest son of William Hine. He taught himself to draw and paint and was encouraged by a neighboring vicar who had watercolors by Copley Fielding. Hine became a professional wood engraver, and in 1841, extended his practice to drawing on the wood for illustrated journals.
