Francis Edgar Dodd was a painter and printmaker born in Holyhead, Anglesey. He began his artistic career as a decorator of china and porcelain while training at Glasgow School of Art. In 1893 Dodd won the Haldane Scholarship and furthered his studies in Paris, Italy and later Spain. After his return to England, he was invited by Bernard Sickert to exhibit at the New English Art Club, which brought him to the attention of a wider audience. In 1911 he showed with the Sandon Studios Society exhibition at the Bluecoat Gallery in Liverpool and began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1923. He was elected an associate of the RA in 1927 and a full member in 1935. As an Official War Artist to the Ministry of Information during World War I, Dodd served on the Western Front and made portraits of British naval and military commanders, and was afterwards attached to the Admiralty to carry out drawings of submarines. These are now in the Imperial War Museum. The National Portrait Gallery holds examples of his work (a chalk sketch of Virginia Woolf), as does the Ashmolean Museum, Tate Gallery, British Museum, and Victoria and Albert Museum. Dodd gave a complete collection of his prints to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford in 1948. He died by his own hand at his home in Blackheath, London.
