Peter Grain
Peter Grain (c. 1785 – 1857) was a French-American artist who achieved success in the United States. Known for his panoramas, landscapes, portraits, dioramas, portrait miniatures, and theatrical designs, he was also an architect and the author of at least one stage play. His family was involved in theatrical design in New York, Philadelphia and other major American cities for at least two generations.
==Early life==
Born in France,〔 Grain was originally a performer and playwright with the Circus of Pépin and Breschard,〔New York Gazette & General Advertiser, August 2, 1809〕 a company which toured the United States from 1807 until 1815.〔(Circus in America )〕 On August 2, 1809, Pépin and Breschard presented his play ''Billy, or the Reward of a Good Action'' in New York City. This "New Pantomime" included "combats" on horseback, making it an early example of hippodrama. Grain was cast as the title character. His billing as "Mr. Grain" can be seen in other advertisements for the company's 1809 season.〔(Historical Newspapers )〕
