Tags: Painter.
Henry Dawson was a British landscape painter born in Kingston upon Hull in 1811. He went with his parents to Nottingham when he was still an infant and always regarded the latter as his native town. His parents were poor and he began life in a Nottingham lace factory. But even while engaged in lace-making he continued to find time for art and used to paint small pictures which he sold at first for about half-a-crown each.
