ROBERT DODD - VICTORY OF TRAFALGAR IN THE VAN

VICTORY OF TRAFALGAR IN THE VAN BY ROBERT DODD - Published in 1843 by J.W. Laird London. Robert Dodd (1748 – 1815) was an English artist and engraver well known for his works on the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Born as one of three sons of Alexander Dodd, his younger brother was the engineer and painter Ralph Dodd. He married Mary Fulton (b. 1748) on 1 November 1772. He died in early 1815 and was buried on 20 February at St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney. Dodd started his career as a landscape painter, but after gaining some recognition in this field, specialised in marine scenes. Living in Wapping, London, he had plenty of material to hand in the way of ships, docks and wharfs, and much of his work includes scenes of the River Thames and naval dockyards. Other themes include battles and actions of the French Revolutionary Wars and the American War of Independence, prominently including a large canvas of the battle of the First of June for the dining room of his local inn, the Half Way House, in Commercial Road, London; the painting is now at the National Maritime Museum.
