Montague Dawson (British, 1890-1973)

In 1924, Dawson was the official artist for an expedition to the south seas by the steam yacht St. George. During the expedition he provided illustrated reports to The Graphic periodical. During these years, his artwork was also published in the newspaper The Sphere. His works are featured in the Royal Naval Museum and the National Maritime Museum. After the war, Dawson established himself as a professional marine artist, concentrating on historical subjects and portraits of deep-water sailing ships often in stiff breeze or on high seas.
