Thomas Addison Richards was an American author, illustrator of travel books, landscape painter, and art teacher.
Background
Thomas Addison Richards was the son of William Richards, a Baptist minister, and his wife Anne Gardener Richards. He was born on December 3, 1820 in London, England, lived for a short time in Hook Norton, near Oxford, and with his family sailed for America, arriving in New York in September 1831. After brief residence in Hudson, New York, the family went to South Carolina (1835) and thence to Georgia, settling in Penfield.
Career
At twelve Richards wrote an account of his voyage from England, a manuscript volume of 150 pages, which he illustrated with water-color pictures. His first published book was an illustrated holiday volume on flower painting entitled The American Artist (1838). This was followed shortly by Georgia Illustrated (1842), a series of steel engravings with accompanying text by various authors. Before he left Georgia, to seek his fortune in New York, he apparently enjoyed a local reputation for portrait painting, for while on his way he stopped in Augusta during the presidential campaign in 1844 and was employed to paint pictures of Clay and Polk on a pretentious canvas which stretched across the wide Broad Street in that city.
In New York in 1845, he studied at the National Academy of Design for two years, becoming an associate of the Academy in 1848, an Academician in 1851, and in the following year corresponding secretary, a position he held for forty years.
He spent many summers traveling about the United States and Europe, sketching and painting. His work belongs with the Hudson River school, which aimed at a faithful and literal transcription of nature.
He twice held large auction sales of his work in New York (1863, 1871). In the fifties he was contributing to Harper's Magazine and the Knickerbocker illustrated articles descriptive of scenes in the United States. Some of his novelettes and tales appeared in book form in Tallulah and Jocassee (1852), which was republished in 1853 as Summer Stories of the South. In these and similar stories published a year later under the title of American Scenery, he endeavored "so to relieve the gravity of fact with the grace of fiction, as to present at the same time an instructive topography and an entertaining romance" (Preface). Appletons' Illustrated Hand-book of American Travel, however, which he published in 1857, remains closer to fact and could rival the later Baedeker in accuracy as to modes of travel and historical information.
His text and drawings for the work formed the first complete guide of its kind for the United States and Canada. Richardson's scholarly tastes and enthusiasm for natural scenery may be considered the keynote of his artistic and literary career. Doubtless inspired by the reigning taste for Romanticism, he endeavored to reproduce by word and brush the "varying characteristics of the beautiful natural scenery of our country" and of Europe.
Much of his life was spent in New York, where he was constantly represented in the annual exhibitions of the National Academy of Design.
In 1858 he organized and for two years directed the first class in the Cooper Union School of Design for Women, an early step in the art education of women.
In 1867 he was appointed professor of art in the University of the City of New York (now New York University). After twenty years of service he was made professor emeritus in 1887.
He died without issue in his eightieth year in Annapolis, Maryland, and was buried at Providence.
Achievements
As a painter of landscape he was considered among the best of his time. His subsequent works including American Scenery in 1854, The Romance of American Landscape and Guide to Central Park and a number of other works of landscape and travel.
