Henry Graves (printseller and publisher)
Henry Graves (17 July 1806 – 23 August 1892) was a printseller and publisher in Victorian London.
==Life==
He was son of Robert Graves (died 1825), and younger brother of Robert Graves, A.R.A.
He was born on 16 July 1806.
At the age of sixteen he became an assistant of Samuel Woodburn, the art dealer, and later was employed by Messrs. Hurst, Robinson, & Co., the successors of Boydell, as manager of their print department.〔 Tuer alleges that the company name "Hodgson, Boys & Graves" was changed to "Hodgson & Graves" in 1841 but the name change seems to have occurred in 1836.〕
On the failure of this firm in 1825, Graves, in conjunction with Francis Graham Moon and J. Boys, acquired the business which was carried on with various changes of partnership until 1844, when Graves became sole proprietor ; the title of the firm has since been Henry Graves & Co.
He also had a publishing partnership, Hodgson & Graves, with
Richard Hodgson.
In the course of an enterprising and successful career, throughout which he was recognised as the leading London printseller, Graves published an immense number of fine engravings from pictures by Turner, Wilkie, Lawrence, Constable, Landseer, Faed, Frith, Grant, Millais, and other contemporary painters.
He specially devoted himself to the reproduction of the works of Sir Edwin Landseer, employing upon the work the best engravers of the day, and paying the artist himself more than £50,000 for copyrights.
He also issued valuable library editions of the works of Reynolds, Lawrence, Gainsborough, Liverseege, and Landseer. Graves was one of the founders of the ''Art Journal'' and ''Illustrated London News,'' an active member of the Printsellers' Association and the Artists' General Benevolent Fund, and a governor of the Shakespeare memorial at Stratford.
He died at his house in Pall Mall, London, on 23 August 1892, and was buried in Highgate cemetery.〔''The Times'', Aug 29, 1892; pg. 6; Issue 33729; col E〕
