style was based on that of Copley Fielding. By 1830, from Brighton, he contributed to London exhibitions, sending six pictures to the Royal Academy and 12 to the Suffolk Street Gallery between then and 1851. In 1856 he had three water-colours at Suffolk Street, and in 1859 an oil painting, Smugglers waiting for a Lugger, attracted attention at the Academy. Hine contributed small black comic sketches and cartoons to Punch. He also illustrated the first Punch's Almanac. A notable contribution was the sheet of Anti-Graham Wafers, an attack upon the home secretary, Sir James Robert Graham, who had private correspondence opened in 1844. Hine's pictures included: Lewes from the Town Mill, On the Downs near Lewes, Swanage Bay, Cliffs at Cuckmere, In Cowdray Park, Haymaking, Corfe Castle, Moonlight, Shoreham, and Fittleworth Common. Some of these were sent in 1878 to the Paris Exhibition. Family In 1840 Hine married Mary Ann Eliza, daughter of James Egerton, a coach-master.They had a family of eleven daughters and four sons. Two of his sons were Harry Hine, a member of the Institute of Painters in Water-colours, and William Egerton Hine, art master at Harrow School.
