Overview and metadata sections
Lowes Cato Dickinson was an English portrait painter in the Victorian establishment. He also painted and lithographed sporting pictures. Son and pupil of stationer and lithographic publisher, Joseph Dickinson, he was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites. Dickinson taught drawing with John Ruskin and Dante Rossetti, and exhibitions of his portraits were held at the Royal Academy from 1848-1891.
The collection consists primarily of letters from pre-Raphaelite painters to Dickinson. Correspondents include Ford Maddox Brown, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and John Ruskin. Also included is a letter from John Bright, whose portrait was painted by Dickinson.
