Richard W. Dodson (1812-67)
An engraver, illustrator, and portrait artist, Richard W. Dodson
was born on 5 February 1812 in Cambridge, Maryland. He was a pupil
of James B. Longacre and spent his professional career in Philadelphia.
In addition to his published work, he produced portraits in sepia
which he exhibited at the Artists' Fund Society in Philadelphia
and at the Apollo Gallery, New York. He died on 25 July 1867 at
Cape Nay, New Jersey.
His only known Scott-related engraving is a version of Sir Henry
Raeburn's 1808 portrait published
as the frontispiece to the American edition of J.G. Lockhart's Memoirs
of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart., published by Carey,
Lea, & Blanchard, Philadelphia, in 1838.
