VERY LITTLE IS KNOWN of the life of this English-bom marine painter who came to America in 1829. He was artive in Boston as late as 1840, painting such scenes as The Wharves oj Boston, which now hangs in the old Boston State House, and Rocks at Nahant. owned by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
Boston Harbor—Long and Central Wharves, painted in 1832, belongs to Henry R. Dalton. It shows Boston when it was the shipping center of the new United States empire of commerce and when its jungle of masts teemed with emigrants, merchants and sailors unloading cargoes.
