He is thought to have been born in London in the 1730s, the son of a city merchant. He died in Kentish Town, London. He was married to Jane, and they had six children, three of whom also became artists: George Dawe, Henry Edward Dawe and James Philip Dawe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was apprenticed with Henry Morland and was the godfather to his son George Morland. It is said that Dawe was the only person to maintain a strong friendship with George Morland through both the ups and downs of the latter's life. Dawe's son, George, wrote a biography of Morland entitled The Life of George Morland with Remarks on His Works, which was published in 1807.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilip Dawe also worked for some time under William Hogarth. Although he worked as an artist in his own right, Dawe's output largely comprised engravings of the work of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe also produced satirical political cartoons leading up to the events of the Boston Tea Party and is referred to in a book entitled The Boston Port Bill as Pictured by a Contemporary London Cartoonist by R.T.H. Halsey. These cartoons include \"The Bostonians in Distress,\" \"The Alternative of Williams-Burg,\" and \"The Butcher’s Wife Dressing for the Pantheon.\" They were of a simple style but made acute observation and comment. In 1774, he produced his most well-known work, \"Bostonians Paying the Excise-Man, or Tarring and Feathering.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dawe-philip-c-1730-1832-the-bostonians-paying-the-excise-man-1774","title":"Dawe, Philip (c.1730-1832) - The Bostonians Paying the Excise-Man 1774","description":"\u003cp\u003ePicture by the English artist Philip Dawe, probably his most famous painting.  It's called The Bostonians Paying the Excise-Man, or Tarring and Feathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 6017 pixels wide by 7315 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/dawe-philip\" title=\"Philip Dawe\"\u003ePhilip Dawe\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61372643115338,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Dawe_Philip_c.1730-1832_-TheBostoniansPayingtheExcise-Man1774_main.jpg?v=1773884710"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Dawe_Philip_c.1730-1832-2900765.jpg?v=1773884599","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/dawe-philip.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
