Harry Dixon

Sculptor, painter, illustrator. Born Watford, son of the photographer, Henry Dixon, who specialised in animal photographs taken at London Zoo, near where they lived. So it's interesting that Harry seems also to have specialised in animals.

Londonphiles may have heard of Dixon Snr before since, commissioned by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, he created a series of photographs of buildings threatened with demolition in the late 19th century.
