Simon Gribelin (1661-1733) – Ornamental and metal engraver and designer. Born in Blois, to a Huguenot family of watchmakers and engravers, and fled to England before the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He received his denization on 8 March 1682, and became a member of the Clockmakers' Company in 1686. He remained part of the immigrant French community, and the autograph annotations on his prints are always in French. He married in 1691 the daughter of the minister of the Huguenot church in Spitalfields. In 1690 he was living in Arundel Street, 'the next running down from the King's Arms Tavern, next door to the White Lion'. From at least 1707 until his death he lived at the corner house of Banbury Court in Long Acre, and his long career continued into the 1720s. . . . Almost all his engravings after old master paintings, among them the Raphael Cartoons and the Whitehall ceiling by Rubens, belong to the 18th century, as do his two sets of book illustrations.
