AMOT 359, 30. Dadd was trained at South Kensington and the RA Schools before starting work as an illustrator in around 1872. He worked extensively for illustrated magazines such as the Graphic, whose staff he joined in 1884. "His style is very photographic... but it is technically excellent and very accurate in detail... Dadd's pictures and drawings are models of Edwardian eloquence, if not high art." [Houfe The Dictionary of 19th Century British Book Illustrators and Caricaturists. p.110]
