Marine and landscape painter. Born in Hull but lived in Nottingham until 1844 when he moved to Liverpool. Mainly self taught though he did study with J B Pyne. Exhibited at the Liverpool Academy. In 1850 he moved to London and exhibited at the RA and elsewhere, but always felt the RA Committee hung his paintings badly. He painted some large views of London. His two sons Alfred and Henry Thomas Dawson also painted.
