Henry Dawson

Henry Dawson (British, 1811–1878) has 5 public-domain artworks in the Archive Lane archive, each available as a digital download or a made-to-order print.

The British landscape painter Henry Dawson certainly did not have an easy childhood. At the age of eight and after only a good one and a half years of schooling, he already had to earn money to support his parents. His father was a heavy drinker. So Henry worked long hours every day in a factory that produced lace. In his scarce free time he still managed to teach himself to paint. Apart from a few lessons with the landscape painter James Baker Pyne , Dawson never received formal training as a painter. His works are therefore characterised by an original individuality, especially at the beginning of his career.
