Thomas Mann Baynes

Thomas Mann Baynes (1794–1876) was a London born English artist known for his drawings and watercolours of landscapes, buildings and outdoor events. Many of his subjects were engraved and published, generally in London, and these include a notable panorama of the River Thames, which was drawn from nature and engraved on stone. He was the son of James Baynes, a noted watercolour artist.

Baynes also produced views of Liverpool and Ireland, and appears to have made a successful living as a printer prior to his death in 1854. His son Fredrick Thomas Baynes (1824–1874) was also a noted watercolour artist.

Thomas Mann Baynes' works include:

  • Views on the River Thames in London
  • View of the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway From Over the Tunnel, Taken on the Opening Day, May 3, 1830
  • The Giant's Causeway

Many of Baynes' drawings were engraved and published as prints.

    I learnt the verbs of will, and had my secret;
    The code of night tapped on my tongue;
    What had been one was many sounding minded.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    This was Venice, the flattering and suspect beauty—this city, half fairy tale and half tourist trap, in whose insalubrious air the arts once rankly and voluptuously blossomed, where composers have been inspired to lulling tones of somniferous eroticism.
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
