Thomas Dodd (1771-1850) was an English auctioneer and printseller; in 1796 he took a small shop in Lambeth Marsh before moving to Covent Garden. It wasn't until 1806 that he opened an auctionroom in St Martin's Lane, where he sold some famous collections, among them being that of General Dowdeswell in Janaury 1809. Dodd acquired a wide knowledge of engravings, and began an elaborate biographical catalogue of engravers, which eventually formed thirty folio volumes of manuscript. In 1817 Dodd spent time on a dictionary of monograms, but a similar work by Brulliot was published about that time.
