Thomas Colman Dibdin was an illustrator and painter.
Born in Bletchworth, Surrey on October 22nd 1810. His father was the dramatist,
Thomas Dibdin. His working life began in the General Post Office as a clerk, at
seventeen years old. Eleven years later, at the age of 28, he left that
employment to take up painting professionally. Dibdin travelled widely
throughout Europe, including, France, Germany and Belgium. Whilst there he drew
the old towns and attractive buildings. Later, Dibdin invented the process of
Chromo-lithography. He died in Sydenham on December 26th 1893.
He spent quite some time in the
Essex area drawing and painting. He publish sketches of houses in
the area and produced a watercolour of the Church
in Saffron Walden.
It must have been through his time in Essex that he met
the Jones Family of Saffron Walden and subsequently married Ann
Alice Jones, the sister of the successful teacher Rev.William
Taylor Jones. In later years TC Dibdin works for the Rev. William at
Sydenham College.
