THE ADAM GRANT ARCHIVE Special thanks to Dan Robbins and Peggy Grant for permission to present this material. ADAM GRANT was a master of paint-by-number art, the do-it-yourself hobby kits made in Toledo which soared to international popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. His many designs, converted into numbered spaces with corresponding paint colors, encouraged many a would-be painter to dabble. By the time he died in June, 1992, Mr. Grant also was a renowned figure painter.
