About Joseph Grozer

Lived 1755 – 1799 (aged 43–44). Joseph Grozer was a British artist, graphic artist and copper engraver.

Joseph Grozer (1755–1799) was an English artist and printmaker. He resided at No 8, Castle Street, Leicester Square (or Leicester Fields) (1792–4) and published some of his prints himself.

Works Grozer engraved in mezzotint, after Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Romney, and others. Among his earliest known engravings are The Young Shepherdess, published in 1784, and The Theory of Design, 1785, both after Reynolds. Other mezzotint engravings were: of the work by Sir Joshua Reynolds, originally believed to have been called A Little Girl. The picture became a favourite of the public, and according to Martin Postle "the commercial face of childhood", being reproduced countless times in prints and ephemera of different kinds.
