Abraham Raimbach

Abraham Raimbach

Abraham Raimbach (February 16, 1776 - January 17, 1843), was an English line-engraver of Swiss descent.

He was born in Cecil Court in the West End of London [ Weinreb, Ben & Hibbert, Christopher (1983): "The London Encyclopaedia," p. 129. ] . Educated at Archbishop Tenison's Library School, he was apprenticed to J. Hall the engraver from 1789 to 1796. For nine years, part of his working-time was devoted to the study of drawing in the Royal Academy and to carrying out occasional engravings for the booksellers, whilst his leisure hours were employed in painting portraits in miniature. Having formed an intimacy with Sir David Wilkie, Raimbach in 1812 began to engrave some of Wilkie's best pictures. At his death, he held a gold medal awarded for his "Village Politicians" at the Paris Exhibition of 1814. He was elected corresponding member of the Institut de France in 1835.
