THOM, James Crawford, artist, born in New York, 22 March, 1835. He studied at the National academy, and in 1859 went abroad, where he studied with Edouard Frere, and then with Henri Pierre Picou and Jean Baptiste Camille Corot. His works were frequently exhibited in London, where he gained several medals and other honors at various times. Since his return to the United States in 1872 many of his pictures have found their way into private galleries in this country. Among the paintings that he executed while abroad are " By the River-Side," "Returning from the Wood," "Tired of Waiting," "Going to School," and "The Monk's Walk." The last three were exhibited at the Royal academy, London. He has shown more recently at the Academy of design, New York, " Forgotten Cares " (1877) ; " Song of the Sea " (1881) ; " The Old Farm-House " (1884) ; "The Pets " (1885); and several landscapes at the Mechanics' fair, Boston, in 1878.
