Thomas Gimbrede[1] (1781 – 25 December 1832)[2] was a French engraver and miniature painter, pupil to Jean-Baptiste Jacques Augustin. Gimbrede immigrated to the United States from France in 1802. In 1816, Gimbrede had an office in New York, and he published a considerable amount of work at the Philadelphia magazines, The Port Folio and Analectic.[3] In 1819, during the administration of Sylvanus Thayer,[4] he was appointed instructor of drawing at the United States Military Academy at West Point and held the position until his death.[5]
His son Joseph Napoleon Gimbrede was also an engraver.[6]
