Thomas Goldsworth Dutton is considered not only the finest nineteenth century lithographer (and also one of the most prolific) to record shipping and shipping scenes, he is also a noted watercolorist and oil painter. He is most widely recognized for his lithographs, yet his excellent marine paintings are also widely collected when they can be found.
Original works by T.G. Dutton are considered today quite rare. His paintings of clipper ships, created generally for his lithographs were quite popular in his era. Today, they are seldom seen outside of the lithographs that still survive.
Active as an artist and lithographer in the years 1844-1878
In 1844, he described himself as a "Lithographic artist, marine draughtsman, and draughtsman on wood." His lithographs appear to have had their origin in water colours. He was an engraver but appears to have left the printing and hand colouring to others for much of his work, e,g. to Day & Son,
for many years. His publisher through most of his career was William Foster who in the later years dedicated some of his work. He also exhibited at the Suffolk Street Galleries between 1858 and 1859. There are a snall number of lithoraphs engraved by Dutton of paintings by other artists, e,g., the steam auxiliary 'GREAT BRITAIN'' made in 1852 from a painting by Samuel Walters, the clipper 'SCHOMBERG' which was wrecked on its maiden voyage in 1855 from a painting by G.H. Andrews., and a painting of 'H.M.S. CALEDONIA 120guns, lying in Plymouth Sound' by H.A. Luscombe.
E.H.H.Archibald in his "Dictionary of Sea Painters" describes Dutton as "not only the finest 19th century lithographer of shipping scenes and ship portraits but happily the most prolific." The lithographs depicted below are mainly of ship portraits which would have been commissioned by ship owners (notably the Green's Blackwall Line and Anderso, Anderson's Orient Line) and ship's captains and are mostly broadside images.
He also made a large number of lithographs of ships of the Royal Navy and naval activities and actions, e.g. the British and French fleets in the Balyic,e.g., the war in the Crimea, and also a large number of no doubt commissioned lithographs of yachts and yacht races.
